Is this good?
I am a teenager and I want to learn graphic design because I want to earn money through online jobs. This is my first design, is it good enough to add it to my portfolio? And if there are any suggestions on what I can do to make it better, then please tell me.

It requires some sort of hierarchy… what do you want the viewer to read first, what second. What third and so on… right know there is none. It needs a primary focus. Like someone else said.. too many fonts. I recommend to start with one and use bold and regular weights at different sizes to help with the hierarchy until you understand font pairings and what works well.

Research comes first. Look at good design and copy the layouts until you understand what looks good. Then make your portfolio in a few months when you know more.
None of those fonts are good for a coffee brand. Stick to 1 font, max 2. Research what sort of typography do other coffee brands use. Develop your brand a bit more. Ask yourself what sort of coffee shop this is for? What personality should it have? How do I make this unique and stand out? Could this be niche, e.g what about a dog or cat cafe?
The stock image of the coffee should be centred and bigger. Drop the cloud. Only use imagery that represents the brand. Keep going! You could try some illustration.

too many fonts also the cup is so small, I would rearrange the elements. You could shorten introducing… to just bolded NEW and change the font for the latte to something more simple. Also is the icon next to the logo necessary? I’d take it out. I think a fixed version could go on a portfolio in a mockup along with a few more you make, 5 minimum
