The Esplanade Association (TEA) of Boston’s Charles River asked me to create a logo  and design for the 100th Anniversary of the Charles River. The design was placed collateral to give away and sell at their events. The 100th logo was influenced by TEA’s logo

1369 Coffee House “Squares” T-shirt Design: This design is based on the idea that 1369 is a community establishment based in two major squares in Cambridge. There are 13 large squares followed by 69 smaller squares, and on the back is an abstract map of two locations in relation to each other.

1369 Coffee House “Split” T-shirt Design: This design is meant to target the younger crowd at 1369 who would appreciate a more dynamic design. The design represents the alternative nature of the coffee shop.

I created these designs for a t-shirt competition while working at the coffee shop. I eventually decided not to enter, but enjoyed making the designs either way.
