Undesirable destinations: the Victorian Blackpool tour
Evelina Angelova
The Victorian Blackpool Tour Blackpool is a seaside town in North West England. In 1881 it was a booming resort with a promenade complete with piers, fortunetellers, public houses, trams, donkey rides, fish-and-chip shops and theatres. Shifts in tastes, combined with opportunities for Britons to travel overseas, supplanted Blackpool’s status as a leading resort during the late 20th century. The aim of my project it so advertise Blackpool not as a alcohol/drugs/party destination but as a destination for foreign tourists looking for a taste of Victorian Britain. The Victorian Blackpool tour is a one-day tour with 4 points of interest led by a proffessional guide dressed in Victorian clothes. The tourist receives a pack that would help him dive in the Victorian atmosphere.

Adding some small details and switching to a more modern looking colour palette and overlays my logo was almost finished.
Logo development
tour
In order to create my logo I experimented with different Victorian looking typefaces. After deciding on Old Standart TT I started experimenting with different colour schemes. The logo on the left was the first phase which looked to generic and old.
The last development phase was to change the typeface of “the“ and “tour” giving them a more contemporary appeal.

“All you need is your passport“ brochure This brochure would be the main advertisement form for my campaign. It is a brochure where you need to swipe your passport behind the illustrations so that the photo fits in the hole. This way the tourist can imagine how he/she would look like in the surroundings of the four Victorian tour points.
