starbucks gift cards

The challenging part with these gift cards was they had to be summer themed while matching the vibe of current and previous gift cards that Starbucks sells. I started off by doing research into what styles and looks Starbucks goes for when issuing gift cards. I found that most are quite playful and illustrative. I wanted to make them summer themed without being basic and drawing patterns of sunglasses and flip flops so i decided to tell a story and a memory of what summers were like for me as a kid. I incorporated illustrations of locations and set ups that were nostalgic to me as a thought back on what summer meant to me as a child.
