Designing Disneyland

BY JONATHAN PEASE

This portfolio is a collection of graphic design recreations inspired by the visual identity of the Disneyland Resort and other Disney parks. Each project is an exercise in studying and faithfully re-creating existing design work, from signage and typography to branded materials. My goal is to understand how these designs are built, the decisions behind them, and the details that make them timeless within the Disney experience.

This portfolio is ongoing and ever-growing—some pieces are works in progress, while others are more refined explorations. It is not a showcase of original work, but rather a demonstration of my skills in design execution, attention to detail, and dedication to Disney’s visual storytelling.

Disney has been an inspiring part of my life for as long as I can remember, and this project represents both my passion for design and my dream of one day contributing to the magic of the Disneyland Resort.


LOGO RECREATION

This project studies the Disneyland 70th Anniversary logo as a case study in real-world branding, showing how one design adapts across countless variations, and how branding isn’t about one flawless version but about making the right choices for each context.
