inspirations: mexican menu

Posted March 25th, 2010 by jmivaldi and filed in Uncategorized

Browsing thru some cool design studios, I found Mucca who designed this super cool menu for a contemporary Mexican restaurant called La Condesa in Austin. The graphics totally caught my attention because of its cool hand-lettering & the bold color combos. This is usually how outdoor graphics are done throughout Latin America, all hand-lettered with bold color combos.

Mirando diferentes estudios de diseño, encontré a Mucca quien diseño este menú super original para un restaurante mejicano llamado La Condesa localizado en Austin. Las gráficas capturaron mi atención por su uso de escritura a mano y combinaciones de colores super dinámicas. Esta técnica es popularmente usada en letreros y anuncios por toda Latinoamérica.

my adventures in hand-lettering…

I’ve been working on ideas for my valentine’s card and I decided to experiment with my cursive hand lettering and I think I’m happy with the results. In Latin America we are educated to write in cursive lettering mostly, so I wanted to recreate that especially for such a romantic day like Valentine’s day.

He estado trabajando en mis ideas para tarjetas del día de San Valentín y decidí experimentar con mi letra cursiva y creo que estoy feliz con los resultados. En Latinoamérica nos educaron a siempre escribir en letra cursiva la mayoria del tiempo, asi que quise recrearlo con el romanticismo del dia de San Valentín.
