I really love coffee shops. I think they’re so hyggelige and I’ve actually always liked going to coffee shops alone. There’s something so peaceful and self validating about it.

I’ve always had a really hard time focusing and finding motivation to be productive. It’s especially difficult for me to concentrate when I work or study while I’m at home. Sometimes I just need another place to be, to find the motivation and inspiration. Structure is extremely important for me so I really need to separate home and work to be productive. Otherwise it doesn’t really work out for me. I know it may sound weird, but that’s just how my brain works. I get really easily distracted and have no motivation at all. When I work outside from home, I find it way easier to focus. That’s why I like going to coffee shops. I’ll enjoy a cup of coffee, a piece of cake or whatever I feel like eating/drinking, while I work on my laptop. The thing is, that working while sitting in a different environment than home, motivates me. Maybe it has something to do with the energy in a room. Coffee shop are nice and cozy. That gives me motivation to be productive. Other times I just go there to just treat myself and not necessarily to work or study. Or some times, I’m just on a road and stop by because I need something nice to drink or eat. So I just take a break and sit there for a while, while I’m just enjoying life. It’s the small things right?

Another thing is, I just can’t work or be productive without a cup of coffee on the desk. No matter where I am working. The cup of coffee is a necessity. Even if I don’t drink it. It just have to be there. It’s some sort of motivation factor for me. I’m not even joking, because it’s like my brain just don’t want to work without a cup of coffee beside me on the desk. It don’t even always have to be coffee with caffeine every time. I just need that cup of coffee. It’s like, it’s a part of my structure. When I said that structure is important. for me, I really meant it.

Also I’m kind of obsessed with coffee cups. They’re awesome. Here’s my collection, in case you’re interested. I just like how they give personality, to your desk. To be honest, buying coffee to go, isn’t always about the drink for me. It’s also the aesthetic. There’s something aesthetically pleasing about it. I have this sort of vision in my head of a mysterious busy woman in a big city, walking with her go-to-coffee, while looking hella badass and fashionable. It must be all the chicken flicks movies. That’s what they do to you.

So obviously I needed to make a logo for a coffee shop.

And that resulted into a unicorn logo, because at that time it used to be some kind of trend on the internet. There was a lot of unicorn memes and unicorn cakes on the internet. The internet is weird man. Anyways, if you’ve come this far, thank you man. I know it’s just a portfolio but a witch got a lot going on in her mind.
