Beautiful Landing Page with Elements

I have created that video using After Effect and Photoshop to show King Tut's life story

Project Overview

The goal was to create an educational website about Egypt that showcases lesser-known temples, ancient monuments, and historical locations, organized in a way that solves the common problem of cluttered or disorganized travel/history sites, as well as places to visit

Problem Statement

Users exploring Egyptian history online struggle to find reliable, well-organized, and distraction-free content about ancient temples and monuments. Most available resources are cluttered with ads, lack structured navigation, and overwhelm users with poorly formatted or duplicated information.

The challenge is to design an educational website that makes discovering, understanding, and navigating Egyptian temples easy, enjoyable, and trustworthy, especially for tourists and students seeking fast,structured insights.

That video was created by me in animation class as a final project
