Solo Hiking 115km in the Pyrenees (Spain and France).

What to study

Desired Outcome

  • One small hiker and a tent under a huge valley make the mountains look enormous.
  • The tent shows a night out there alone, a trip many hikers want to try.
  • A classic serif for THE PYRENEES reads like a film title, not a vlog.
How the packaging works
Title

Solo and 115km turn a beautiful view into a real challenge for one person, and Spain and France in parentheses says the route crosses a border.

Thumbnail

Harmen faces away into the valley, which leads the eye up it, and the pale tent is the only other sign of people.

Remix this

When your subject is far bigger than you, like a mountain range, a factory or a city, show yourself small against it with one sign of your gear. Put the challenge in the title.
