I chose this as my my final project, as I adore the city of Paris and wanted to have a blend of the city of love and the macabre underground.
While parallax seems to be a passing phase and rather heavy, it did fit this theme. The catacombs of Paris is a journey of going through the layers of the city. It’s a mix of adventure, story telling, and using a design trend appropriately.
