Cafe Belmont

Apparel Graphic Design

A clothing graphic design for Café Belmont in Kraków. The starting point was a loosely defined concept: classically dressed women drinking coffee from the venue's signature cups, with the recognizable Café Belmont menu incorporated as a background element. Based on the provided references, I developed the composition, prepared the graphic elements, and combined them into a final design intended for printing on apparel.

01 · MERCH DESIGN

The final design combines an illustrative scene with elements characteristic of Café Belmont. I created the composition with a large back print in mind, complemented by subtle branding on the front.

> TYPOGRAPHY ADAPTATION

For the merchandise, the existing Café Belmont logo was graphically reworked to better harmonize with the style of the main illustration. I developed versions with a more irregular, distressed look while maintaining the recognizability of the original mark.

02 · MENU AS A GRAPHIC ELEMENT

One of the project's key elements was the distinctive Café Belmont menu. I started with photographs of the physical menu boards taken on-site, as no ready-made production files were available. Using these as a basis, I recreated the menu and adapted it into an illustrative composition, preserving its characteristic form and layout while modifying it to work as a garment print design.
