Exercise: Make a grand entrance

Completed

Your destination’s entrance is the first impression you make on your visitors. How can you make it match your theme and stand out in their memory? Let’s design an image and a description for your entrance. To do this, use Copilot to ideate, generate a description, copyedit, and create an image.

Ideate with Copilot

Return to your conversation in Bing, and start generating ideas.

Steps:

1. Copy the sample prompt and edit as needed.
2. Paste it into chat.

Sample prompt:

For this destination I want to think about the entrance. 
It should embrace the theme of this destination and should 
be memorable as it’s the first interaction a visitor will have. 
Can you suggest three ideas for the entrance to this destination 
that fulfill the criteria? This part of the project work is called The Entrance.

Sample response:

Sure, here are three possible ideas for the entrance:
- A hidden door behind a waterfall that leads to a tunnel with glowing 
mushrooms and fairy lights.
- A giant hollow log that serves as a slide that takes visitors to the 
base of the tree, where they can climb up a rope ladder or a spiral 
staircase.
- A secret code that visitors have to enter on a keypad disguised 
as a birdhouse, which opens a trapdoor on the ground 
that reveals an elevator to the bar.

Tip

You can iterate and ask for more ideas. However, note the number of prompts you have remaining so you don't have to start over in a new chat!

Expand on the idea

Let's explore those ideas. Select one of the ideas proposed and direct Copilot to elaborate on that idea.

Steps:

1. Copy the sample prompt and edit it as needed.
2. Paste the prompt into the chat.

Sample prompt:

I like idea about the hidden door you suggested. Can you elaborate on it? 

Sample response:

The entrance to the restaurant is a giant hollow log that looks like a 
natural part of the forest. Visitors have to crawl inside the 
log and slide down a smooth and curvy path that takes them to 
the base of the tree where the restaurant is located. 

The slide is dark and thrilling, but also safe and comfortable. 
Along the way, visitors can hear sounds of nature and see 
glimpses of light through the cracks in the log. Once they 
reach the bottom, they have two options to climb up to the 
bar: a rope ladder or a spiral staircase. 

Both options are fun and challenging, but also offer stunning 
views of the forest and the bar. The rope ladder is more 
adventurous and requires some physical strength, while the 
spiral staircase is more elegant and relaxing. Visitors can 
choose whichever option suits their mood and preference. 

The entrance is designed to create a sense of wonder and 
excitement, as well as a contrast between the natural and 
the man-made elements of the bar.

Edit the description

Now, you need to rewrite this description in a marketing tone.

Steps:

1. Copy the sample prompt and edit it as needed.
2. Paste the prompt into the chat.

Sample prompt:

Can you rewrite that description in a tone that you’d find 
in a travel publication? Please keep it to a single paragraph.

Sample response:

If you are looking for a unique and thrilling way to enter a bar, 
look no further than this hidden gem in the woods. The entrance 
is a giant hollow log that invites you to slide down a dark and 
winding path that leads you to the base of a majestic tree. 

Along the way, you will be immersed in the sounds and sights of 
nature, as you catch glimpses of light and hear birds and insects. 
Once you reach the bottom, you will have to climb up to the bar, 
either by a rope ladder or a spiral staircase. Both options 
will reward you with stunning views of the forest and the bar, 
as well as a sense of accomplishment and adventure. The entrance 
is a perfect blend of nature and artifice, creating a memorable 
experience that will leave you breathless and enchanted.
