These are some more web banners (300x250px) I did for Tour Africa while it was still operating during my time interning at Tour America. I kept to the style that I had developed to help infuse colour into the banners. However, I did experiment with asymmetric layout for one of them, just for a change. See more of my Tour Africa banners here and here.
These are some more web banners (200×250) that I did for Tour Africa. I kept to the same theme as I had before because I felt like the style worked well and fit in nicely with the Tour Africa website. I really like the one on the left because of the sunset in the image. Click here to see my previous post on Tour Africa web banners.
These web banners were originally 728×90 pixels hence the pixelation above, just click on the image to see it at its original size. The differences in the browns I chose for the text may not look well side by side, but when the stand alone, they compliment the tones in the images beside the text.
These are some skyscraper web banners (120x600px) I did for Tour Africa, a sister site to Tour America. I wanted to liven up the banners because typically it would be a picture of an animal like a giraffe, elephant, lion or orangutan in the banners because people associate Africa with safaris and exotic animals. These images are easy enough to come by on stock photo websites but I didn’t want to chose all animal based images.
So I trawled Shutterstock for some brighter images that would catch peoples eye. They were harder to find but I wanted show another side of Africa. I don’t think people would immediately assume that the banner on the far right in particular is an African scene. People tend to think of earthy tones, desert landscapes and or savanna plains when they think of Africa. So the blue and green makes it stand out a bit more.
I think the style of the banners was in keeping with Tour Africa’s look but with more vibrancy. I got some tribal vector borders and changed the colours to suit the images. I also used free font, African, in the banners to compliment the subject. Very Lion King altogether I reckon!
Unfortunately, Tour Africa doesn’t exist anymore, so the screen grab above is the best I can do to show how it looked.
