Personal project about superstitions

Brief – Solution: For my MA dissertation in graphic communication I decided to work on superstitions. Doing my research I discovered they have three roots. One is our personal experiences, another is our culture, and the third, very important one, is our religion. So as part of the work I created three religious maps. One lists only the religions and their percentages per country, the second uses as a symbol the prevailing religion per country, and the third is a colour and percentage depiction of religions per country. I also created hybrids between religious symbols and common human anxieties for which people need good luck. So each person can find the amulet that suits them.
