Design Process
Photography Selection
Curating and selecting the perfect photographs that capture the golden hour magic, unique architecture, and atmospheric qualities of each destination.
Each image was carefully edited to enhance colors, contrast, and mood while maintaining a natural, authentic feel.
Typography & Layout
Developing a typographic system that balances elegance with readability, using serif fonts for destination names and clean sans-serifs for taglines.
The layout hierarchy places the country name at the top, the city name prominently in the lower third, and a subtle tagline to complete the composition.
Color & Mood
Each poster features a color palette derived from the destination itself - warm sunset tones for Venice, crisp whites and blues for Santorini, etc.
Color grading was applied to unify the collection while allowing each destination to maintain its unique visual character.
