Brand and narrative
We clarified the language and visual rhythm around Design Afrique's specialist approach to travel. The narrative centres expertise, curiosity and human connection, giving every page and communication a recognisable point of view.

Design Afrique
Brand direction, website design and editorial content for a specialist African travel designer. The platform translates a high-touch, personal way of planning African journeys into a clear digital experience, bringing places, people and perspective together without reducing travel to a catalogue.

Context
A digital home for considered travel.
Design Afrique creates considered African journeys for travellers who value insight, personal service and a strong sense of place. Its digital home needed to carry that specialist point of view while making a complex regional offer easy to explore. The task was not simply to display destinations. It was to help prospective travellers understand the character of the company, find useful information and feel confident enough to begin a more personal conversation.
Scope: brand narrative and visual direction, website strategy and design, destination content, enquiry journey and project film.
The brief
The work, in three parts.
We built the project around three connected needs: a distinctive narrative, a useful digital platform and editorial content with enough depth to earn attention. Each part supports the same journey, from first impression to informed enquiry.
Digital platform
The website organises destinations and travel information around the questions people ask while planning a complex African journey. Clear navigation, practical context and purposeful enquiry routes move visitors from inspiration towards a useful first conversation.
Editorial content
Destination pages, travel stories and film give prospective travellers more than an itinerary. They reveal atmosphere, local texture and the thinking behind the journey, while creating useful material for search, social and direct communication.
THE WEBSITE
A window onto Africa.
Rather than treat the site as a static brochure, we designed it as a connected decision journey. Visitors can move from broad destination inspiration into more specific travel detail, understand how Design Afrique works and reach an enquiry without losing the editorial atmosphere. The result balances evocative imagery with the practical information a serious traveller needs.
Project film
The story in motion.
The film extends the website's editorial language into motion. We shaped the sequence, pace and sound around the feeling of considered travel, using the medium to communicate what a services list cannot: scale, intimacy and the changing rhythm of a journey through Africa.
