Design Work Life: Cataloging Inspiration Daily

For the month of August, a series of guests will be fill­ing in on DWL with daily posts. Today’s posts come to you from Jason Johnson who fights the good fight as an Art Director/Designer at TunnelBravo. For more from Jason, check out his port­fo­lio or shots on Dribbble. 

Not long ago I ate at Oregano’s for the first time. Having worked on a lot of restau­rant brands through­out my career I was extremely impressed with the unique menus Oregano’s has. And not just a cou­ple of menu vari­a­tions but an entire fam­ily of them. Each one designed in a dis­tinc­tive album cover style with a cool nos­tal­gic vibe. I found out later they were designed by Jon Arvizu who runs his own design, illus­tra­tion & print shop called Trapdoor Studio.
