I designed and developed a comprehensive, scalable broadcast and social graphics package for TripSavvy's destination city guide video series. Using their prominent New York City guide content as the launchpad, the template system was engineered to present hyper-local travel logistics in a fast-paced, visually engaging format. The package was built as a reusable toolkit, allowing editors to effortlessly drop in fresh assets for different neighborhoods and global cities.

Travel guides require a massive amount of on-screen data—including exact street addresses, neighborhood boundaries, and historical trivia. The core challenge was information hierarchy: I needed to display dense, practical travel logistics without cluttering the screen or distracting from the scenic destination footage. The visual system had to align with TripSavvy’s clean, trustworthy, and expert brand identity while remaining highly legible across both desktop and mobile feeds.

Custom Localized Mapping System: Designed a minimalist, stylized map overlay framework to orient the viewer. I mapped out specific neighborhoods, utilizing clear boundary lines, custom vector pins, and smooth track-in animations to trace routes between key locations.
Landmark & Restaurant Directives: Created sleek lower-thirds and side-panels specifically structured to introduce points of interest. These templates paired bold typography for the location names with crisp, highly legible secondary text dedicated entirely to exact street addresses and operating details.
"Fun Facts" Pop-Up Callouts: Engineered an energetic, eye-catching callout system to deliver bite-sized historical trivia and local insider tips. These utilized subtle kinetic scales and geometric accents to draw the eye to the text before cleanly wiping off-screen.
Modular Layout Kit: Provided the production team with a fully organized Mogrt/After Effects toolkit. The package included automated text-box resizing and customizable color fields, ensuring editorial consistency whether a video focused on Central Park or a hidden café in Greenwich Village.

The graphics package successfully elevated the production value of TripSavvy's travel video catalog. By turning logistical data into a beautiful, functional asset, the final series achieved high viewer retention rates. Travelers were provided with clear, actionable context, allowing them to easily bookmark locations and addresses directly from the video assets.
