The list of "must-see" attractions for visitors to California seems virtually endless. And yet, California, vast and diverse offers so much more than the typical tourist might be aware of. Practically every corner of this state presents visitors with something unique—but they have to find those places first. And competition for tourists' attention (and dollars), especially from bigger cities and attractions, can be fierce. So, it's easy for these "hidden gems" to fall off of travelers' radars. 

For this assignment, you will create an infographic highlighting a lesser-known Californian city/town, region, or park. Using vintage travel posters as inspiration, your mission is to drawn attention to your place's distinctive offerings and characteristics. 

Examples of vintage travels posters can be found HERE and HERE and HERE.

Guidelines:

  • Choose only ONE city/town, region, or park from the lists below to center your infographic on
  • Use a subheading to state your thesis—this meant to "entice" tourists to your locale
  • Space will be limited, so be thoughtful about which aspects of this locale to highlight
  • The unique characteristics of your locale should inform your infographic’s design and style
  • This infographic must be created utilizing Adobe Express. Adobe’s creative suite is free to you as an SJSU student. Using your university credentials, you can register HERE. Note verification isn't immediate and can take a few hours.

A sample infographic can be found HERE.
