Drawing with coffee

These four patterns were drawn as a way of broadening the possibilities of coffee into something that could be used to create images. I had taken pictures of coffee and wanted another way to place this drink into my booklet in a more physical way. Of course these patterns were created with the intent to be edited on PhotoShop as in their raw format they fail to match the vibrant colours used so far in my booklet. These images will be used as PhotoShop textures rather than me getting them off the internet which is something i've done in the past. Used to spruce up a dull page or add an element of interest to something and even a texture for text, the possibilities are endless.

I intend to use the stripped and spotted pages as backgrounds for some pages, making sure to feature them throughout the booklets to create a consistency within it. These patterns were also intentionally made to look imperfect and the bleed lines on the stripes and higher intensity of some of the circles add character.

Update: 

I used these patterns for the bookmark page within my magazine. The editing on this page intended to completely manipulate the colours of the coffee drawing to match those within the drawings and this beautiful turquoise tone is one that also appears throughout my booklet. I still manages to maintain the hand drawn quality of the stripes and want  to maintain this for the rest of the pages.
