My Dream Place!

 Instructions

Create a travel poster for a place you would like to visit. Imagine a travel agency or the tourism department has hired you to promote their location.  Specifically, we are looking for you to identify and connect with your target audience, to focus on the most compelling reason for your audience to travel to the location, and a call to action that encourages members of your intended audience to act upon the message/image.

You are required to combine text with at least five images to create your masterpiece.

The format should be 16 x 20 @ 150 ppi.

This week’s project had me diving into travel posters, and honestly, it was one of the most exciting design prompts I’ve worked on in a while. The task was to create a 16x20 poster at 150ppi that could sell a destination to potential travelers, mixing at least five images with text to deliver a clear message. I decided to focus on Dubai, because it’s one of those places that feels almost unreal futuristic, vibrant, and completely packed with reasons to visit.
     
    And with that in mind the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Dubai is the Burj Khalifa. It’s the tallest building in the world, and it’s been a dream of mine to see it up close. So, of course, it had to be front and center in my poster. It’s not just a building it’s a wonder, and the kind of landmark that people travel across the world just to cross off their list.
    But for me, it’s not just about that one structure. It’s about the whole vibe of the city. Dubai has this amazing mix of beauty and futuristic infrastructure that feels larger than life. The skyline, the beaches, the lights at night all of it feels like stepping into another world, and I wanted my poster to give off that same energy.
    And then, of course, there’s the food. I’ll admit it: I’m a big food person. Dubai has so many diverse food districts and incredible dining spots, and that’s honestly a huge reason I’d love to visit. For my poster, it was important that the overall design hinted at not just the visuals of the city but also the kind of cultural and sensory experiences that make traveling worthwhile.

At the end of the day, I wanted my design to sell Dubai in the same way it sells itself to me: iconic, vibrant, and unforgettable. That’s why I tied it all together with a simple call to action “Discover Iconic Dubai — Book your memorable adventure.” Because really, who wouldn’t want to?

My Colleague.

Instructions Visual Voice Inventory.  Create a collage or slide show of 8–10 pieces of your past creative work (photos, drawings, designs, etc.). Analyze them as a set: Write down the first words or feelings that come to mind for each piece, then look for patterns. Do certain adjectives repeat? Do you see a consistent color scheme or subject matter? Next, ask a friend or classmate to view the collection and describe what they  feel  is  your  voice or style. Compare it with your own impressions. This inventory will help you identify elements that already make your voice distinctive. Based on this, list three qualities you  want  to emphasize more in your voice (for example: “playful humor,” “bold contrast,” “compassion for outsiders”). This list becomes a conscious target for your future projects.  Content   Reflection   Time Made Visible. Mesmerizing, Temporal, Distorted    Rain  Moody, Dreamy, Quiet ...

Exercise 1 - 3 Panel Story

Image
 Instructions   Exercise 1: Mini Narrative Panels.  Think of a  simple everyday scenario  – for example, “running late for class,” “losing and finding a pet,” or “preparing for a school presentation.” Your task is to  tell that story in 3–5 frames or panels, without using any text  (imagine it like a short comic strip or storyboard). Step 1:  Identify the  story elements  in your scenario. Who is the  character  (maybe a student, a pet owner)? What is the  setting  (a dorm room, a park, a classroom)? What’s the  conflict  or problem (alarm didn’t go off, the pet ran away, stage fright)? What emotions will you convey (panic, sadness, excitement)? And what’s the  resolution  (they catch the bus just in time, find the pet at the neighbor’s, deliver a successful presentation)? Jot these down. Step 2:   Sketch the panels.  Panel 1 should set up the character and setting clearly. Panel 2 (and 3...
