The initial brief given by the client was simply to create a highly desirable printed catalog of Travive’s portfolio highlighting the exquisite beauty and unique characteristic of each destination and travel experience.

We took the opportunity to develop the visual and verbal language, drawing inspiration from mother nature, and the work of German zoologist, philosopher, marine biologist and artist – Ernst Haeckel.

As a contrast to the vintage illustrations, we blended modern typographic styles to create a contemporary aesthetic. The colour palette draws from nature, deep blues, azure, greens and orange. The brochure reads like a scientific journal, with Ernst’s work interspersed as points of interest, and accents to the locations.
