Project: Design a simple tourist brochure for a trip to Japan
This project was a personal one,
I went on a trip in January-Feburary of 2024 to Japan and in order to help my journey I decided to design my own tourist brochure that would help me along my journey with simple phrases and key words.
Front
The front side of the project was designed to give me quick access to some important/basic phrases with breakdowns in pronunciations, as well as the romaji versions of the Japanese alphabet and, of course, numbers.
This layout serves as an efficient reference guide for daily communication, offering easily digestible chunks of information to enhance my learning experience. The inclusion of pronunciation breakdowns is especially helpful for ensuring correct intonation and understanding how each phrase should sound in natural conversation.
The romanji versions of the alphabet further support my ability to read and write Japanese, especially for beginners, by offering a simplified version of the characters. Lastly, having numbers easily accessible is key for understanding everyday contexts like shopping, telling time, and making reservations.
Overall, the front side is a compact but powerful tool that serves as a quick-access roadmap for foundational language skills.
Back
The back side is dedicated to locations and emergency services, as well as a few more basic phrases worth knowing.
This section is designed to provide essential information that could be crucial in a variety of situations, from navigating unfamiliar places to seeking help when needed. It includes key phrases for asking about directions, understanding where important landmarks are, and knowing how to reach medical or emergency services.
The inclusion of additional basic phrases ensures that I have a well-rounded toolkit for everyday interactions, covering not just greetings and polite expressions but also practical phrases that can make a real difference in critical situations.
With these resources, the back side serves as a reliable guide for handling emergencies and getting around with confidence.
