Ristorante Chinato Identity

Print’s Regional Design Annual is the most comprehensive survey of graphic design in the United States, containing 200 pages of award-winning work, and the only design annual organized by geography. Representing every region of the country, this issue highlights inspiring work from the Golden Gate to the Empire State. This year Print is celebrating their 30th Anniversary of the Regional Design Annual, and Epstein Design Partners is proud to be a participant.

Earlier this year, award-winning chef and restaurateur, Zack Bruell, announced the opening of Chinato, an old-meets-new Italian culinary concept on Cleveland’s East Fourth Street. Chinato, named after a flavorful Italian after-dinner wine enriched with herbs, is Bruell’s fourth restaurant within the city of Cleveland. Epstein Design stays true to the “old-meets-new” concept in the identity, menu’s, interior signage and website.

The walls of the restaurant are flooded with large murals of the Italian countryside which offset the sleek modern interior space. The soft sepia tones of italian vineyards and various street scenes, capture the richness and authenticity of Bruell’s food.

The American Graphic Design Awards is the four decade old flagship competition for GDUSA, and is open to everyone in the graphic arts community — graphic design firms, advertising agencies, inhouse corporate and institutional designers, publishers and other media. It honors outstanding new work of all kinds in 23 categories from print and packaging to internet and interactive design.

Epstein Design has again been honored  with a number of projects in this year’s American Graphic Design Awards including:  The Cleveland Clinic Holiday Card and Global Medicine Brochure, The Ristorante Chinato Identity and Logo, The City of Mentor website and the LMA Sidewalk Sale Poster.
