I love my city
A traveller’s guide
The Brief
Design a travel booklet for visitors, to a theme of your choice .
The Concept
An on-foot travel guide for the town of Stellenbosch, in the Western Cape, South Africa. The aim of the brochure is to inform the traveller about the classic and contemporary architecture that the town has to offer. I’ve translated this by showcasing a variety of art galleries, museums, restaurants and cafes relative to the theme. The movements that inspired my design are Bauhaus and cape, colonial architecture.
The Experience
“The Pocket Traveller” is an architectural travel guide aimed at people who have an interest in contemporary architecture with old, Cape Dutch influence. The complex folds create an intriguing design, making the travel guide stand out from the crowd. From a functional perspective, it is lightweight and easy to fold or keep in one’s pocket while on the move. Once opened, users follow the route outlined by red markers, each of which represent a different property of interest, along with a short description, address and contact details. The idea is for visitors and locals alike to enjoy sightseeing on foot, in the town of Stellenbosch.
