For my Graphic Design Studio 1 project, I illustrated a coffee pot, reflecting my love for specialty black coffee. Experimenting with angles and compositions, I refined ten black-and-white abstractions before introducing color. Initially set on green—both the pot’s true color and my signature hue—critique pushed me to explore broader palettes. This led to deeper color theory research and a vibrant, inviting final design. The project evolved into Perky, a conceptual coffee brand with a mascot inspired by my illustration. I created print materials, digital mockups, and physical prototypes, tackling challenges like professional printing and die lines. This experience expanded my skills in composition, branding, and creative exploration.
