How can the South African tourist board portray South Africa as the perfect destination for Guardian readers? We needed to create a rich experience to portray both the expected and unexpected sides of South Africa using a playful interface and the awe-inspiring imagery of South Africa.
Our collaborative approach allowed us to quickly prototype the site and work together with The Guardian to explore a split-screen functionality that would allow the audience to explore the ‘must do’ and ‘something new’ journeys in parallel. By building a rich and creative experience, we created a website with interactive intelligence to deliver a ‘storytelling style’ experience with an adventurous feel.
