Usages idéaux
Communicating authority, permanence and ritual through placement and repeated signs · Reconstructing Egyptian relief or painting without reducing it to hieroglyph-like ornament
Typographie
When using inscriptions, verify the direction and wording of real hieroglyphs instead of making a decorative pseudo-script.
Composition
Divide the field into registers, enlarge the central figure, and combine profile head and legs with frontal eye and shoulders.
Matière
Use limestone or dry plaster beneath black contours and flat ochre, blue, green and red rather than modeled shadow.
Précaution
Pyramids, scarabs and gold do not make the style. Identify the period and purpose, and do not turn sacred writing or funerary culture into empty luxury decoration.
