Creative:
It’s up to you on whether or not to use travel photo images or not. If you do, please use images that are license/ royalty-free as we do not have a budget for image purchase.
As a note - we have found via ads we run on Facebook, that using happy, smiling images of young people who look like they could be travel or tour guides - seem to work the best.
Color palette:
Bright, eye-catching colors
