Project Overview
Grendesign was engaged by Sorrento Beachside Tourism to design a professional, high-impact pull-up banner to support on-site engagement, membership growth and volunteer recruitment.
Installed at the Sorrento Visitor Information Centre and used at events across the Mornington Peninsula, the banner needed to:
- Capture attention in high foot-traffic environments
- Reinforce brand identity
- Clearly communicate a call to action
- Maintain readability from a distance
The result is a clean, coastal-inspired large-format banner that blends strong visual hierarchy with tourism branding.
Design Objectives
- Create a visually compelling pull-up banner for indoor public spaces
- Encourage community participation – membership and volunteer sign-ups
- Align with the established Sorrento Beachside Tourism brand identity
- Ensure clarity and readability from 2-5 metres away
- Produce print-ready artwork suitable for repeated event use
Design Approach
The banner design reflects the coastal identity of Sorrento and the broader Mornington Peninsula region.
Key Design Features
- Soft coastal gradient inspired by Port Phillip Bay
- Prominent circular Visitor Information logo placement
- Clear primary headline – “Come Join Us”
- Simple call-to-action structure with stacked buttons
- Balanced negative space for premium presentation
- Strong bottom imagery grounding the design in place
- High-resolution photography reflecting local coastline
The typography hierarchy ensures that key messaging is readable at a glance while secondary information supports deeper engagement.
Strategic Purpose
Pull-up banners are often positioned:
- Inside visitor centres
- At tourism expos
- At local council events
- During seasonal campaigns
- At community recruitment drives
This banner was designed to function as a silent salesperson – clearly communicating the message without requiring staff intervention.
By combining visual calmness with structured messaging, it reinforces professionalism while remaining welcoming and community-focused.
Technical Considerations
- Large-format roll-up banner dimensions
- High-resolution imagery for print clarity
- Optimised contrast for indoor lighting conditions
- Durable design suitable for repeated assembly and transport
- Print production-ready artwork files
Outcomes
The banner now supports:
- Increased awareness of membership opportunities
- Volunteer recruitment visibility
- Brand consistency across physical touchpoints
- Professional presentation at public-facing events
- Stronger presence for Sorrento Beachside Visitor Information Centre
It acts as both a branding asset and a recruitment tool – strengthening the organisation’s community engagement strategy.
