The Brochure for Paris
tourisms is simplistic yet

marketing needs to be

The content of the digital
brochure is clear and directs
the viewer to online links

information, spectacular imagery and effective format.
The map data offered in the brochure engages the

and the formatting of map images and textual data is

Step 8: Final Mood Board

Step 9: 3 Key References Images
Annotation: The present digital Brochure for Ritz
Carlton yacht is more focused on aesthetics and inviting
the consumer to the cruise tourism environment instead
of being strictly educational or informational. In the
current age most information is shared visually instead
of text which has led to brands depending more on
visuals instead of content in their marketing material
(Styvén and et. al., 2022). Here high definition images
and compelling content is used to transport the
consumer to the environment of the cruise s that the can
be persuaded to click the below link to Ritz Carlton
yacht and take action of purchasing the services.
Additional information could have been added to ensure
that consumers get brand specific information

Step 9: 3 Key References Images
Annotation: This is a very good example
of branding through tourism brochure.
Here digital graphics, textual data and
catchy tagline are used to persuade the
consumers so that they visit the rock
resorts. It is simplistic informational with
creative use of font, formatting and
content. It engages informs and
persuades consumers through stand out
content and effective consistency. The
area for improvement is including call to

information about the brand. Hospitality
sales depend on call to action because it
increases direct bookings (Dhiman and
Arora, 2020).

Step 9: 3 Key References Images
Annotation: This is suitable tourism
Brochure for Dubai because it provides
accurate information and persuasive
arguments for visiting the region. The
formatting and visual imagery also creates
a specific exotic brand image for the city.
Foreign tour and travelling (Lin, Chiang
and Wu, 2018) locations require destination
specific branding to attract international
travellers. Finally, the dessert attractions of
the Dubai travel and tourism are also
effectively showcased and branded with the
help of this brochure. The only area which
could have been improved is reducing the
text to bullet points to make it look less
cluttered.

Step 10: Statement of Intent
It is understood from the secondary research done on the purpose
characteristics and elements of brochure and digital brochure the
intention of this business project is to prepare and appealing and
accessible digital brochure for London Tourism. The final
outcome includes a unique and sophisticated brochure about
London tourism which is digitally accessible and celebrates the
tourism history and attractions of the city. In this the final design
outcome of this project will offer a tourism brochure for London
tourism which supports its global branding after considering
different aspects of brochure design and the purpose of tourism
branding.

Step 11: Final Design Outcome
In this digital tourism
Brochure for London, the
branding chosen for London
tourism is historical and
meaningful tourism the city
has to offer. London is one of
the oldest places where
civilization settled with many
historical places (Panayi,
2020). It is directed towards
creating meaningful tourism
branding through mention of
historical places
It is digitally accessible
brochure which could be
used in social media
campaigns with clear
data and imagery.
The brochure informs consumer by providing its of dining, accommodation and tourism spots in
the city along with interesting fact. Several factors are used to engage the consumer such as visual
imagery taking the consumer to the city and the mention of online links along with call to action
through which they can purchase holiday packages to the city. Finally the emphasis on historical
legacy of London through quotations , data and images helps persuade the consumer experience the
iconic tourism experience London has to offer.
The brochure is consistent focusing on
historical facts,, data and images of
monuments. It is also educational as it
informs consumer about historical legacy of
London.
Here the overall design of the brochure is
simple with use of bullet points and muted
colours. It is effective because both visual
and textual data is provided in the
brochure. The font size is changed on the
basis of different elements which helps the
consumer easily read the brochure and

Part 12 : Evaluation Report
How did the mind maps and mood boards help you to develop your ideas?
I applied the mind maps to extend the main concept and determine the different ways in which brochure design can be used to promote
tourism branding. Mind map helps individuals brainstorm on various concepts and ideas (Megawati, Yuliwati and Harimurti, 2021).
Mood boards helped me visual my final design outcome and get inspired by different brochure design to prepare final outcome.
What part of this project if any did not work well for you?
. I believe that the project could have been improved by adding better visual elements such as clipart’s and moving images so that it can
be used as branding material for social media marketing campaigns also. It could have also been improved if any social media hash tags
were added to increase consumer engagement. n the current age branding is largely dependent on social media marketing as it helps
directly communicate with the consumer (Bastiaansen and et. al., 2022).
How did the research and investigation effect your final design outcome?
My final design outcome was informed by secondary research as I understood about the different elements and characteristics of final
design along with various brand examples of ways to develop creative brochure design.
