Sirens Brew
This screen print was created as part of a coffee branding project for a fictional café called Sirens Brew. The design explores the atmosphere and energy of a busy coffee shop while incorporating a mermaid theme inspired by the sea-faring history of the coffee trade.
Coffee has historically been transported across oceans through global shipping routes, and the imagery of sirens and mermaids was used to connect the branding to this maritime history.

About
From top to bottom, the print follows the journey through the café: beginning with the bustling queue waiting to order, moving down to the barista making drinks and ending with customers enjoying their coffee, chatting, reading, and talking on the phone. The composition combines everyday café culture with playful mermaid characters to create a lively and imaginative scene.
Ideas
Ideas for this project stemmed from a lot of observational drawing, taking notes on environments, people, museum collections and interaction.
