Back in 2021, during my Graphic Design II class at LSU, we were assigned a branding project. The goal was to choose from a few company categories and develop a cohesive brand over the semester. I decided to go the coffee route and came up with the name “Buzzed.” The idea stemmed from the feeling of being jacked up on caffeine, combined with the challenge of creating a name that tied seamlessly into the branding. And that’s how Buzzed Coffee was born.

After plenty of late nights and last-minute tweaks, this project came to life. It remains untouched since my junior year of college, but I’m still really happy with how it turned out. I’ve kept it in my portfolio as a reminder of my progress over the years. Sure, there are a few things I could tweak here and there, but for now, I like it just as it is.

Who knows? Maybe one day I’ll take the leap and do a massive redesign. For now, though, I’ll let it bee.
