This impressive [coffee and ice cream shop packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retail-coffee-packaging) was actually developed for the fictional Demitasse Creamery as part of a student project by Brianne Boland. The bold contrast in product offerings is represented in the [vibrant black, white and yellow coloring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibrant-packaging-design) of the cups and containers, which shows off more of its fun personality with witty quips like: "Depresso: the feeling you get when this cup is empty" printed on them.

Boland describes the choice of yellow as a "HI-HOW-ARE-YA hue," and a perfect blend of everything the Demitasse Creamery is about—[modernity, youthfulness, excitement](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modernized-coffees) and mischief. Graphics for the Demitasse Creamery brand are basic, featuring simple shapes, patterns and icons that are playful and smile-inducing.
