Red Sea Residences is Red Sea Global’s portfolio of luxury homes within Saudi Arabia’s emerging coastal destinations. Across two phases, I designed the print and digital sales communications for Marsa Condos and Shura Marina Residences, two developments located within the same island masterplan. The work brought together brochures, location maps, masterplans, floorplans and commercial specification sheets, using client-supplied photography and CGI. A central challenge was organising detailed property information across English and Arabic, creating bilingual layouts that remained balanced, legible and visually consistent despite the contrasting structures and reading directions of both languages.

The first phase established the editorial and information framework for Marsa Condos. I designed the principal sales brochure alongside the wider collection of location maps, island and residential masterplans, apartment floorplans and individual specification sheets. The system needed to communicate the relationship between the wider destination, the development and each residence clearly, while presenting dimensions, amenities and one-, two- and three-bedroom configurations in a format suitable for both digital distribution and print production.

For Shura Marina Residences, I developed the visual language from architectural details found within the wider island destination. The distinctive forms and colours of the canopies across its resort and amenity areas became the basis for graphic elements used throughout the brochure and supporting materials. This created a direct connection between the sales collateral and the physical character of the development while giving the second phase its own recognisable expression within the broader Red Sea Residences portfolio.

A colour-coding system distinguished one-, two- and three-bedroom residences, supporting navigation through floorplans and technical information across the brochure, individual specification sheets and A4 gatefold factsheet. The layouts needed to accommodate measurements, amenities and property details without competing with the supplied imagery and CGI. Across both phases, I balanced editorial presentation with the clarity required of practical sales tools, maintaining continuity while responding to the identity of each development.

Designing simultaneously in English and Arabic required more than a direct translation of content. Each format had to account for opposing reading directions, different text lengths and the visual balance created by two distinct writing systems. Grids, spacing and information hierarchy were developed to work across both languages, ensuring the print and digital materials delivered the same level of clarity and refinement for regional and international audiences.
