A behind-the-scenes swoop into our Spring menu cover design with Sean: Onomatopoeias. 🖌️
This particular menu, Volume 64, also marks something special - our first return to print in over five years.
Let the creative juices flow - from here on out, our seasonal Prescriptions will be paired with an original menu cover, specially designed by local artists.

🤔: Hey Sean! Tell us a bit about your day-to-day work.
🙋: My day-to-day role is creative lead at a custom apparel company. Outside of my job I like to doodle, design, dream, and pretend to know how to draw.
🤔: How do you normally 'begin' your designs?
🙋: I don't know if I typically start the same way for every project, but I do know that I don't think too hard about it. I probably begin doodling ideas until something sticks. Start with your gut, then let your brain analyze and react.
🤔: How do most of your creative ideas come to you?
🙋: Having a set of restrictions. It sounds 'anti-creative' but it's the opposite. It forces me to solve problems in creative ways.
🤔: Any fun notes specifically about this design for our Spring Prescriptions: Onomatopoeia menu?
🙋: I tried to incorporate a visual element that somewhat represented each drink name. There were a few that proved to be difficult to visualize, which resulted in a reactionary brushstroke.
🤔: It's late night, you're at Keefer. What drink is in your hand?
🙋: Something stirred and boozy. Preferably a Martinez or a Martini. But honestly anything from their menu is going to be great. Can't go wrong at the Keefer Bar.
