TITLE: Reference for Deligne's construction of Galois representations attached to modular forms
QUESTION [17 upvotes]: I was wondering if anyone can suggest some good reference for learning more about Deligne's construction of Galois representations attached to modular forms. I find Deligne's original paper hard to read.

REPLY [4 votes]: These notes by Takeshi Saito also give a very helpful overview: www.ms.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~t-saito/talk/eepr.pdf
