Final Assignment
Option 1: If you were to start your own coffee shop, what would it look like? Outline what your dream coffee shop would be. Include who your cliental are, what you would have to offer; food, coffee, live music, art displays; and something that would attract customers to come to you. Remember we live in Seattle so what would set your shop apart. Along with your outline bring a piece of art; sketch, painting, compilation of photos; of what you envision your storefront to look like or a piece of work that would convey the feeling a person would get when they walk into your establishment.
