Make it personal without making it generic
Use the friends' real shorthand, local textures, and preferred level of nostalgia.
Presentation
Wrap the guide in a photocopied fragment of the least famous place inside it.
Check the practical fit
- Space
- Keep the guide pocket-sized or deliver it as an accessible digital booklet.
- Skill
- Accurate memory and concise writing matter more than illustration technique.
- Maintenance
- Provide an editable version only if the friend wants to add future places.
- Accessibility
- Use large readable type, high contrast, image descriptions, and an audio version.
- Sustainability
- Print one durable copy with minimal packaging.
- Timing
- It can be made in a few evenings if the locations and permissions are already clear.
