Mug illustration
Customer: Borealis Coffee Company, New York. / Task: Design & Illustration
What the client needed
Our building was originally built as a train station in 1850. The train tracks directly behind our building have been converted into a bike path. Our concept is to have the illustration of the building in the center of the design. A train pulling up to the station on the left side of the design and bikes riding away from the station on the right side of the design. We’d like to the aesthetic to be hand drawn looking. Slightly messy, without looking grungy. An organic feel.
My part of this project
The client provided only his logo and photo of the coffee house. Since the design should be placed in a circle, it was important for me to create the illusion of movement of the train and cyclists. Also I decided to add space with smoke from the chimney of the train and clouds.
