matthew meikleGraphic 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.

imagery blends Fentimans’ rich brewing history with the present and future.

tea room cafeorganic 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 cafe’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 Cafe’s philosophy.
