PROJECT BRIEF

AELI Brews Cafe & Roastery is a Philippines based roastery that offers a wide array of coffee beans from different origins from all around the globe. The Kapeng Tanim ni Juan project is an advocacy project that aims to showcase the coffee originating from Filipino farmers from different parts of the Philippines. 

CREATIVE BRIEF

Keeping in mind that the project is an advocacy project supporting local farmers, I immediately avoided any thought of using age old nationalistic design elements such as the navy blue, red, and yellow flag color scheme; trying so hard to squeeze in any form of The Philippine archipelago; and farmers handing out their ani (produce). There’s nothing wrong with it since it is the country’s identity after all, but I wanted to focus more on the farmers and the craft they have mastered, rather than emphasizing their country or ethnicity.  Which in this case has been pointed out clearly with the common usage of the name ‘Juan’ denoting as a Filipino for the local market.
