TATE Collective Coffee Packaging

TATE Collective Brief

Following a call-out for artists to redesign their artwork, I created these bold illustrations for the TATE gallery's independent roastery.

The brief asked participants to consider themes of gender equality and sustainability in their designs, so I focused on the female coffee producers in the harvesting process. Reoccurring forms represent the connections between producer and product with, of course, the coffee sitting front and centre.

I chose my colour scheme based on the coffee's flavour notes, with soft hues alluding to lavender, vanilla and orange blossom (in a TATE-esque orange). My illustrations also contain the muted green, purple and off-white of women's suffrage, a tie-in with TATE coffee's dedication to gender equality and women led collectives.
