Tasty Texture
So perhaps menu collecting is our attempt to take the culinary experience with us. When the food is digested and the meal is just a memory we still own a piece of it. But, it has become more than just a vehicle to recall the meal, it is visual texture in and of itself. Especially in a day and age (and place) when so many restaurants create seasonal or even daily menus, each one can be considered a piece of art, or at least an artifact of the experience. There is almost as much to deconstruct about the menu as there is about the meal–the typeface, the size, the alignment, the graphic elements, the paper quality, etc. And well, these are things we talk about here at visual texture.
Here is a smattering of our collection. The hope is to one day create a tabletop or kitchen wallpaper out of our favorites.
Let’s face it, if our blog Visual Texture was a dog, it would be a total mixed-breed mutt. We have experience in and exposure to many aspects of design, however the blog is still figuring out what it wants to be when it grows up, and so are we.
