Several weeks ago Threadless, a Chicago-based company that prints t-shirts from community submitted artwork, posted a design challenge called ‘Threadless Loves Coffee‘. Every month or so they create these design challenges, which usually involve a specific topic and some financial/material incentive from a third company. I don’t normally participate in design competitions since they are a little too close to spec-work for my liking, but Threadless really supports its artistic community, and the participants are really getting a chance to make the artwork they enjoy and have a chance to get something for it, versus trying to provide services to a real client.
Since this design challenge was about loving coffee, I couldn’t pass it up, because… I really love coffee. It gave me a goal to work toward, and after coming up with some idea/sketches for an infograph, I went for it. I called on my 3 years’ experience as a barista while in college, and created a conversation piece about making coffee the right way.
Don't Call It 'Expresso'
We’d love a copy of this poster for our shop as soon as you could get one printed. We’d be happy to pay a reasonable price…
Shoot me an email with the details if/when you get around to making it available.

I own a chocolate, pastry & coffee shop, I love this poster is there a way to print it out? You did an amazing job.
Thanks for your feedback! I’ve had more than a few requests now for a printed version, so I’m thinking about trying to find a place to get them printed, and maybe offer them up on Etsy or something for purchase. I just need to find the time to look into it
– maybe after the holidays… I’ll be sure to let you know if they become available!
Hi, I really love this poster! Is it possible to buy it or find it in a bigger size online? I live in Denmark. Thanks Melissa
