Cornwall and Devon Tourist Guide Website
The challenge with this project was to take a successful printed guide and turn it into a user friendly online resource. The Tourist Handbook is a publication which sits in Hotels, B&Bs and pubs, providing useful area guides and local advertisers. The client wanted to take this resource and make into a website which would both showcase advertisers and inform tourists.
We worked with the existing design, carrying across the colours and style but striving to adjust the look to comfortably fit its new media. The website needed to display events in the various areas, along with accommodation and area guides.
The site focuses mainly on attractions in Devon and Cornwall and is proving a success. We designed the website so it could evolve with the client's vision, and contain large amounts of information within the database. With the design I chose a classic font and a traditional palette of British racing green, cream and black. The adverts and illustrations conform to this tight colour scheme as in the printed guide so as to keep that visual link.
