=Introduction=

The year is 2050 and time travel is now possible! This makes it possible for tourists to travel to different historical periods, and the Renaissance has become one of the most popular vacation destinations. This is attributed to the many unique attractions and technology that emerged during the period, such as St. Peters Basilica and the Sistine Chapel, the invention of the clock, the printing press, and the amazing new style of art and architecture. The Renaissance is also viewed as a period of enlightinment and re-birth of ancient Greek and Roman ideals and philosophy. It focuses on humanity and the value of the individual, and so this overall philosophy is appealing to time travel tourists. For these reasons many travel agencies are tying to attract tourists to use their company for their time travel vacation. To attract customers, Travelocity has come up with a new vacation deal for the Renaissance, and they are looking for advertisement companies to create a commercial promoting their Renaissance vacation package.

Travelocity wants the commercial to target potential travelers to visit the Renaissance and to use their travel agency. The attraction is meant to excite the potential consumer about the era and enhance the attraction of the era as a potential vacation destination. As a design team, your group will present the final product to Travelocity. The presentation needs to argue why they should pick your commercial over the ones from the competing companies to use in the promotion of the Renaissance vacation package. Be convincing and enthusiastic! this contract could mean the future success of your company and you as an individual!

=Conclusion= Congratulations! You have finished your commercial and presented it to Travelocity, and they are considering your commercial to use in their promotion!
