statement

matthew meikle Graphic design influences how I perceive the world. It gives me the opportunity to blend my creativity with practicality, and this combination forms the foundation of my work. Architecture, patterns and typography also guide me to produce functional products with a clean aesthetic. This portfolio reflects my continual growth and development as a designer by demonstrating how my passion has been cultivated into skills that allow me to effectively communicate through design.

Reflecting the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s core values, the vintage-inspired typography and simple imagery blends Fentimansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rich brewing history with the present and future.

His folk-rock roots are an important addition to his personality, and are emphasized in this package design.

identity / packaging

tea room cafe organic restaurant

Tea Room Cafe is not an ordinary place to buy a cup of coffee. Instead, it fosters community and provides a space for people to connect, while promoting organic eating. The packaging is sustainable and showcases the cafeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique brand through a custom pattern, mixed typography and proportion. These elements help combine trendy restaurant and environmentally conscious company. Utilizing post-consumer recycled paper, soy ink and a rustic style, the packaging successfully conveys Tea Room Cafeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s philosophy.
