Espress Yourself

shoutOut on 2/12/08 by lostHorizon in

This is for all the people that have ever been offered ‘expresso’ at a coffee shop or restaurant…it is also a tribute to how coffee can help push designers to achieve that (frequent) ‘deurnag’!

Beautiful freeing design ^^ The origami birds are a lovely touch

Very, very nice. Consider changing the name to Espresso ‘self.

Thanks I.A – They are ABSOLUTELY coffee ring stains!

If those circles around the text or coffee ring stains then I love it! If not then I hate it! lol kidding, but the text still looks like an afterthought even if its kinda witty..

Maybe you could of had the coffee stains mold into the text or even the flowing white stuff you got goin on could of been custom type. Type can kill a design, I myself have been victim of that. If you check my old designs, you can see how I was text heavy when I first started here. just my .06 cents

I thought about that but the impact is kind of lost without the words —
It needs to SAY ‘espress yourself’ instead of ‘express yourself’ to carry the meaning the whole design was intended for.

This would be a lot nicer sans text, imo.
The illustration makes a damn nice impact.
