Designs in the Making

Just java?

I am designing the second feature for the February 15th Vox. The story is about a couple who movied to Columbia and opened a coffeeshop Downtown, but due to rowdy late night college students have recently relocated to a quieter location on Chapel Hill Road. I haven't set down and started designing yet, but I've been searching for images and found a few inspiring illustrations.













My idea is to have a mocha toned background with an illustrated coffee cup in the corner and steam from the coffee cup rising in to create the title and at the very top a cross, tying in the religious elements of the story. I'll have a better idea once I can get in and start putting things together. I'm not very familiar with Illustrator so I might need a little help with this one, but I'm excited to get started.

I really like the collage one... although I would have no idea how to execute it. I saw your preliminary design though and it's looking really good. Your use of colours is wicked.
