CHALLENGE
Create a standout t-shirt design for Jammin Java that feels bold and meaningful, while celebrating local identity and appealing to both longtime patrons and new fans.
SOLUTION
I designed an expressive graphic centered on a Bengal cat, paired with regional symbolism to connect the venue to its Virginia roots. The illustration features the state flower (American Dogwood) and the state snake (Eastern Gartersnake), woven through tropical foliage to frame the cat’s fierce expression. The custom typography “Jammin Java est. 2001” curves around the composition to anchor the design. The final graphic is printed on a dark tee for strong contrast and a clean, modern finish that blends personality with local pride.
