Think of one of your favorite places to travel–one that you can represent in both image and word.Use Adobe Photoshop (or Illustrator) to design your poster in the style of a vintage park poster. Yes, this is a requirement and posters that aren’t created in Photoshop will not receive credit. Set the poster dimensions to 18×24″ and make sure your resolution is set to 300dpi. You’ll want to make sure your poster includes:
a high-quality image that spans the entire canvas
sans-serif typefaces (or gentle serif)
limited color palettes
simplified illustration in background
the name of the place/park
a descriiptive and appealing tagline like “The Pearl of the Carribean” which is used by the Dominican RepublicYou will write a 300(ish)-word travel memory and record it (2-3 minutes) based on the place you have chosen for your poster. Here are some guidelines for writing the short memoir. When writing about travel memories, keep in mind you don’t have to detail an entire trip, at least not at one time. Telling anecdotes is a great way to “show—don’t tell” the vibes of your travel destination. Was there a small episode that epitomizes the tone of the trip? The feel of the city? What adventures did you have? What surprised you? Include quotes from fellow travelers or local people in your anecdotes. Not only do quotes often provide great punch-lines, they convey the personalities involved. Was there a lesson learned? A mishap that became significant? How did your trip affect you personally? Was constant diarrhea, aching feet, or sunburn a subtext? Sometimes these mishaps lead to great anecdotes. (Excerpted from Treasure Chest of Memories). opens in new window
Have you ever read a travel story that felt like a conversation with a friend, rather than just a descriiption of a place? That’s the power of personal storytelling in the travel and tourism industry. By sharing personal experiences and perspectives, writers can connect with readers on a deeper level and create a more meaningful connection.
Personal storytelling in travel writing goes beyond just recounting what happened on a trip. It’s about sharing the emotions, thoughts, and reflections that come with the experience of travel. Whether it’s a humorous anecdote about getting lost in a foreign city or a poignant reflection on the impact of a particular cultural exchange, personal storytelling brings a unique and authentic voice to travel writing.
This kind of writing allows readers to see the world through the eyes of the writer, building a relationship based on shared experiences and emotions. It’s a way to inspire and encourage readers to embark on their own adventures, armed with the knowledge that they too will encounter challenges, growth, and unforgettable moments.
Connecting with readers through personal storytelling is an essential aspect of travel writing, as it fosters a sense of trust and authenticity between the writer and the reader. It also allows writers to differentiate themselves in a crowded market by offering a unique and personal perspective on the places they visit.
In today’s fast-paced and interconnected world, personal storytelling has become a powerful way to build community and foster empathy. Through travel writing, it can help bring people from different backgrounds and cultures closer together, one story at a time (excerpted from The Power of Writing for the Travel and Tourism Industry opens in new window).Submit two files for this assignment: 1.
