CNN - The Hippie Trail

2022 Emmy Winner - Outstanding Graphic Design and Art Direction

I got to Art Direct this amazing piece for CNN Travel. It was a passion project that started within the CNN Digital Team in London and we were working on this one between projects for over a year. Unfortunately I left CNN before the project was fully done but Elisa Solinas did a fantastic job on wrapping it up and presenting it the way it deserved. A huge shout-out to Agne Jurkenaite, who did an incredible job with the amazing design and animation of the piece, and to the Interactive team lead by Mark Oliver for the beautiful interactive built for the piece.

THE HIPPIE TRAIL
Short of cash but looking for adventure? For carefree 1960s and ‘70s Western kids, that meant clambering onto a ramshackle bus to head east on a mind-blowing journey through new cultures, spiritual enlightenment and, occasionally, marijuana clouds. Join us as we retrace the route that inspired the Lonely Planet guidebooks.
