DP A guide to all things Santa Monica The 2007 Santa Monica Official Visitors Guide, a publication of Santa Monica Convention and Visitors Bureau, designed and published by Striker Media Group got a slick new design.
The cover commands attention, capturing a spectacular ocean view of Santa Monica mixed with effects of glassy water and sandy beach imagery. Gradient shades of yellows, greens, reds, purples and blues introduce each new section as you tour the pages of Santa Monica. New and easy-to-read sidebars with bulleted information highlight important features of the city such as beach information, spas & salons, view spots, city parks, theaters & acting companies, coffeehouses and farmers’ markets.
“This is the first Visitor’s Guide for Santa Monica that we have published since the inception of the city’s new branding program,” said Lyndell Gooch, Publisher of Stryker Media Group. “The guide is fresh and crisp and consistent with what the destination promises and is a great companion piece to the new corporate travel and meeting planner guide.”
The 2007 Santa Monica Visitors Guide not only boasts the city’s finest in dining, accommodations and shopping, it also explains technical information such as parking, how to dress, electric and clean air vehicles, traffic rules, computer standards and electrical currents, tipping, smoking, telephone service, and a mileage chart from Santa Monica to other Southern California destinations. Easy to follow maps are located in the middle of the guide from the greater Los Angeles area to navigating the streets of Santa Monica.
