Context

Instead of a message or a spreadsheet, the whole trip plan fits on one editorial page: the route, each day’s programme, the highlights, the preparation and the budget. The page had to persuade as much as organise.

Our role

A personal project: Youssef designed, wrote, built and published this page to propose a trip to Malek. It was neither commissioned nor paid for and involves no client.

Measured outcomes

No figures published for this project. We only show a result once it has been measured.

About the project

Key decisions

  1. 01A single HTML file of about 100 KB with no framework or build step, easy to send or to host.
  2. 02A travel magazine direction: serif typefaces and a cream paper background.
  3. 03A timeline numbered in Roman numerals with country filters, so 21 days can be browsed without getting lost.

Limitations

  • A personal project with no client: it shows layout work, not a commission.
  • Photos come from Unsplash: several do not match the stop they illustrate and two no longer load.
  • The reply button opens a blank email with no recipient and nothing is sent automatically.
  • Ticked boxes stay in one browser and are not shared between the two travellers.
