Creative Coffees for Creative People is a coffee-themed zine that was created with the intention of
educating people about coffee and
coffee add-ins, suggesting recipes and tips for a creative coffee drinker.
There are a lot of coffee beverages out there to choose from. Plenty of infographics and guides by baristas
exist, and I
want to contribute with my own creative twist. As a barista of seven years who at the time worked at at a
specialty coffee
shop, I had some fun recipes to share. I wanted to make recommendations and provide specific examples rather
than
overwhelm the reader with information, as I've sometimes seen.
I researched common ways of visually explaining drinks by looking at infographics.
I made recommendations based on mood, displayed layers of drinks, and explained some common ingredients to
give an
idea
of what people have to work with. I went through the documents of my workplace's menu to get an idea of how
to
describe the drinks I featured.
Create a fun and informative booklet that inspires people to try new coffees.
