Well you see, I’m slightly abnormal. I will pick up a pen and paper and draw in the wee hours of the morning, just because I want to. I get these outrageous ideas that flutter through my mind and when I feel the need to express my feelings or show you what my hands can do, I scatter my brain, pick up an idea and continue from where I left off. Now I’m not saying I’m an artist, nor am I a Graphic Designer. I am merely a young soul that loves to bring her originality and worthwhile ideas come to life for you, my client.

Original Size: 8” x 8” Starbucks Coffee’s 2011 annual report InDesign CS5 Autumn 2011 Engaging Young People We ’ve always believed that businesses can—and should—have a posi�ve impact on the communi�es they serve. So ever since we opened our rst store in 1971, we dedicated ourselves to earning the trust and respect of our customers, partners and neighbors. How? By being responsible and doing things that are good for the planet and each other. Every student was given Starbucks as their first annual report. I was pleased with the delicacy and simplicity of the final product. Community As good neighbors, we get involved with local efforts to bring people together and create posi�ve change whenever we can. Ethical Sourcing We’ve always believed in buying and serving the best coffee possible. It’s our goal for all of our coffee to be grown under the highest standards of quality, using ethical trading and responsible growing prac�ces. We think it’s a be�er cup of coffee that also helps create a be�er future for farmers and a more stable climate for the planet. Environment We’re nding ways to minimize our environmental footprint, tackle climate change, and inspire others to do the same. Farmer Loans We know our success as a company is linked to the success of the thousands of farmers who grow our coffee. One of the ways we’re working to maintain our supply of high-quality coffee is by inves�ng in farmers and their communi�es through alterna�ve loan programs. With Starbucks Youth Ac�on Grants, we use our spirit of innova�on to inspire and support young people. Through this program, we hope they will create posi�ve solu�ons for the needs they see in their communi�es. We believe that by suppor�ng young people, we can make real change in local communi�es. Community From the neighborhoods where our stores are located—to the ones where our coffee is grown—we believe in being involved in the communi�es we’re a part of. Bringing people together, inspiring change and making a difference in people’s lives –it’s all part of being a good neighbor. And it’s a commitment rooted in the belief that we can use our size to bring about posi�ve change. Suppor�ng Coffee, Tea and Cocoa Communi�es Fostering Educa�on in China Access to Get Clean Water Rebuilding the Gulf Coast Starbucks supports social development projects that help the communi�es that produce our coffee, tea and cocoa.
