I've been working on an amazing self-initiated project with @Sanjana Sharma. We created to explore a more editorial, story-led approach to tourism
websites.
Blue Ridge County - fictional place, complete creative freedom, and one of our favorite design explorations so far.
This is such a beautiful exploration. The editorial and story-led direction really makes it feel like a place you want to explore.
Thanks, Kabir! That’s exactly what we were aiming for, something that feels less like a typical tourism site and more like a place you’d actually want to discover. Really appreciate that! 🙌
amazing job
Thanks!
editorial travel sites are so underused
Totally agree @Nazar Koliano! I feel like the editorial approach makes travel websites feel much more immersive and memorable than the usual destination-site layouts.
Blue Ridge County has such a specific mood, more magazine spread than typical tourism site. Curious whether the editorial direction came first and the fictional place got built around it, or the place came first and you found the voice to match?
That’s exactly how it happened, @Diego Sánchez. The editorial direction came first, and then we built the fictional place, stories, and overall character around that visual approach. It was a fun way to let the design lead the world-building.

I needed to repost something about how the imagery and colors combine with the logo here. I really love this branding I created.
Really nice, @Daniel G Bright 👍
When I moved to Portugal, I had a big desire to build something for the community.
As I'm living in a small town called Costa da Caparica, I did some research and found out that the aren't enough information about it on the internet, and many local businesses aren't present online at all.
So I decided to create such a platform for tourists, locals, and digital nomads - a place where I gather information about where to go, what to visit, where to buy what you need, where to find a doctor, a pharmacy, or a surf coach.
I'm planning to add even more features with time, such as local news, info about events, etc. What surprised me is that right after launching the website, a few business owners reached out to me with requests to add their businesses to my platform.
What features would you add to this website to make it even more useful?
Realy like it!
I’ll share more, but I’m creating a promotional site for a game. Which one do you think is instantly more appealing?
