Can We Take Your Order?

Julie Sherman - Friday, September 02, 2011


We love our clients and we love their projects. We always look for awesome client relationships over specific projects. But sometimes we crave funny, very particular projects. One day we might wish to design a wedding invitation for an Indian wedding, or another day we want to design packaging for a gourmet box of truffles.

Today we are in the mood for menu designs. Today we wish a creative, design-oriented, visionary restaurant would knock on our door and hire us for everything from the signage to the coasters... and of course the menus! Where is this urge coming from? Seems to be something in the air.

A few weeks ago Julie visited Chez Panisse cafe in Berkley, CA and drooled over the creative menu designs that paper the walls: beautiful woodblock prints of turnips, garlic scapes, and so much more. Then we discovered the art of the menu blog where there are many menu designs to drool over. Finally, Miriam stumbled upon and purchased the new Taschen book: Menu Design in America which has pages and pages of inspiring and often amusing vintage menus.

What do we love about menus? Function and storytelling all in one! Typography, visual heirarchy, alignment, organization... and mood, feeling, inspiration.

Please come bring us a yummy creative menu project! We don't care what cuisine it is, as long as the design can be fabulous and fun.

Oh, and Jenny is off eating every flavor of gelato possible in Italy, thus the inspiration for our image today.
