Inspiration
Initial Concepts and Ideas
-
Tropical Paradise: This concept focuses on incorporating vibrant tropical elements such as palm leaves, flowers, and ocean waves into the design. The color palette would include shades of green, blue, and yellow to evoke a sense of paradise.
-
Minimalistic Elegance: This concept takes a more subtle approach, utilizing clean lines, minimalistic typography, and a simple color scheme to convey sophistication. The Tropic Hotel logo would be the focal point, with minimalist accents hinting at the tropical theme.
-
Vintage Retro: Inspired by retro travel posters, this concept would feature a vintage aesthetic with bold typography, muted colors, and graphic illustrations of tropical scenes. The design would evoke nostalgia while still feeling timeless and classy.
Typography and Branding:
Using the "Orange Squash Demo" typography for the Tropic Hotel business card design adds a vibrant and energetic feel, making it memorable and reflecting the hotel's personality. It stands out, aligns with a playful brand image, and creates visual interest while ensuring harmonious design balance.
Layout and Composition
