#sourcesofinspiration

Throughout this project there has been a lot of sources of inspiration that has appeared throughout the days I have worked on this project. While heading to Starbucks the color green has brought its attention to my life because the color green is mainly used throughout the Starbucks logos. The Starbucks logo of the queen that uses the colors green and white has jumped out at me as well and impacted my life to understand the color green better.

The design inspiration that has impacted my life has been the pink layout template. I think using the color pink brings attention to the viewers eyes and makes people interested in my blog. I love the design logo used for the Starbucks symbol because it represents a queen and makes you feel like you are a queen when drinking Starbucks drinks.

For the typography, I decided to stay with the Times font because it is a basic font that gets the viewers attention but isn't too dramatic. I wanted to go with a basic look for my blog and that is exactly what I did.  The font at Starbucks is a simple font and has made me realize to use simple fonts for the improvement of my blog.

Regular Hot Tea at Starbucks #tea #starbucks

Hello Starbucks lovers! Today I decided to try regular tea at Starbucks. I usually drink the refreshers at Starbucks but today I wanted to try something new. I have never been a tea girl but trying regular tea was actually really good. The first sip was amazing and there was no after taste. I recommend Starbucks regular hot tea.

Regular Coffee at Starbucks #coffee #starbucks

When drinking coffee I usually drink iced coffee, due to the fact that the ice cubes water the coffee down and the coffee taste is barely there. Today I decided to try and drink hot coffee for the first time and see what it was like. The first sip made me realize that I love coffee hot and will be drinking hot coffee from now on. Just like any other coffee, there is an after taste but I recommend hot coffee to all the coffee lovers out there!

Cinnamon Dolce Latte #coffee #starbucks

Hello Starbucks lovers! My roommates been begging me to try her favorite coffee, so I decided to try it!  The first sip was amazing and tasted like cinnamon and had a sweet taste to it. The aftertaste was bitter but good at the same time and tasted like cinammon. I would definitely buy this drink again and recommend this drink to people who need a caffine booster.

Valencia Orange Refresher #tea #starbucks

Good evening fellow Starbucks lovers! Today I decided to sample the lovely Valencia Orange Refresher at Starbucks. This refresher was one of my least favorites out of all the refreshers. The Valencia Orange Refresher has a tangy, bitter taste when you drink it. This drink is not a sweet drink, but if you like tangy drinks then this drink is perfect for you! Valencia Orange Refresher is filled with fresh cut oranges in the drink!

Iced Caffe Latte!! #coffee #starbucks

Hello coffee lovers! Today I decided to try espresso because I have never tried it before but I have heard different things about it. I absolutely love coffee, so I loved the Iced Cafee Latte, but if you like things that are sweeter than I suggest not trying this. This coffee definitely woke me up and prepared me for the rest of the day, and I will definitely have it again in the near future. The aftertaste is the same as any other coffee but it is still a good drink!

Passion Tea Lemonade #tea #starbucks

Hello Starbucks lovers! Today I decided to try a tea that my roommates absolutely love and have been begging me to sample. The tea is called Passion Tea Lemonade. If you like sweet drinks, you can ask the staff to add sweetner and the tea will instantly become sweeter. If you are a lemonade lover, than this tea is the tea for you! The tea has an amazing first taste and barely any after taste! I was amazed at how much the tea tasted mostly like lemonade and resembled lemonade.
