Inspiration from a Starbucks ad

Starbucks must have the best graphic designers in their employ. I always love their ads, the cover art to their cds, their gift cards, their mugs...

This ad grabbed my eye in a copy of Real Simple magazine. I loved the burlap, textured background, the mix of bright and subdued colors, and the symmetry.

I recreated these same elements for this layout, using the Sonoma County kit.



Don't miss the Eight is Great challenge on our challenge blog! I made this layout for it!
