Espresso Your Creativity: Design With Purpose, Brew Change.

Intro

Crafting the Perfect Coffee Wristband Design – Everything You Need to Know 

Welcome to our charitable initiative where we beckon designers far and wide to partake. Our mission is to amplify the voices of the coffee community, and thus, we ask that all designs encapsulate this coffee theme. As a volunteer designer, you would graciously bestow your design upon ‘I’M NOT A BARISTA,’ granting us the unrestricted privilege to utilize your creation for charity endeavors. 

Rest assured, we will shoulder the complete production costs. Your design will serve as a magnetic connection, uniting thousands of coffee enthusiasts worldwide. Furthermore, the funds derived from your design will be judiciously deployed to assist individuals in the coffee community who are grappling with hardships. We invite you to be an integral part of this benevolent cause.

Content

The efficacy of our fundraising efforts greatly hinges on the caliber of your design. Notably, the quality of your design is, in turn, contingent upon the excellence of the print files you generate and your grasp of specialty coffee. The more refined your print files are and the more compelling your design story is, the more it enhances the overall impact of the fundraising initiative. 

However, please understand that we operate under certain constraints and cannot pledge absolute acceptance of all designs submitted. Each design undergoes a stringent appraisal process to ensure it aligns with our objectives and mission. Nonetheless, every design is valued and contributes to our overarching goal of supporting the coffee community.

Requirements

As a design participant, we’re looking for individuals with expert design skills or at least a modicum of design experience. Please ensure you fully comprehend the following design requirements:

  1. Design Constituents: Submissions must be entirely original, with no overt promotional content for any coffee brand or product. Each entry should include a comprehensive narrative detailing your design’s inspiration, inherent values, and associated meanings.
  2. File Format: Acceptable formats include PDF, AI, ID, or PNG (>300dpi, or Vectors).
  3. Design Area: The dimensions for the wristband print area are 190mm x 25mm. Please centralize your main design element within a 175x25mm space, accounting for a 25x25mm square logo label.
  4. Color Template: Please adhere to either CMYK or sRGB IEC61966-2.1 color profiles.
  5. Visual Detail: Keep in mind that the design will be printed on a small wristband. As such, any design details smaller than 1mm may not be clearly visible, so avoid overly intricate components.
  6. Print Material: Successful designs will be printed onto elastic fabric stripes.
  7. Personal Touch: Feel free to include your signature! We’d recommend positioning it on the side.
