After editing the outlines in Illustrator, I started again applying the stencil effect into it. I placed a professional photo of coffee granules that had some blurry parts in it to create distance and texture behind the font. I made the lower case ‘coffee’ have the original ‘Costa’ coffee colour (magenta). I really do like this font, making all the letters lower case kept the design a lot more continuous and flowing. Keeping the style of ‘stencils’ and the background of coffee granules keeps the font relevant to the market but also I did it because I liked the theme of using food integrated with letter forms. The only thing I feel that would have been good was to carry on with developing the idea of physical design of the stencil behind actual coffee granules and taken professional photos of it.
