Sbux Summer Merch

We were asked to provide art direction and illustrations for the Starbucks summer merch collection for stores in regional North America.

Our narrative—Summer is a celebration of rising temperatures and easy living. Long, hot afternoons are refreshed with drinks on ice that keep you cool and serve up prismatic color. We escape the everyday with a splash. Our imaginations wander to swimming pools and swaying palms. This collection positions Starbucks—our drinks, merchandise and brand—as an essential part of your summer fun.
