Menu Design

Menu Design

1. Select a style of menu to design.  The concept should be design stylish and design-heavy.  The menu should include graphic elements, logo and a stylish font to match the brand of the business you are promoting. The menu does not have to be a real business.  The menu should be limited items like the examples.

2. Create a new document in Adobe Illustrator.  8.5 X 11.

3. Break up the content into larger and smaller parts.   Focus on the five fundamentals we covered in the video: Line, shape, form, texture and balance. Make sure you pay attention to scale. placement, alignment, type style, and other cues to create visual order.

4. In addition to creating a logical and legible order, seek to impart the information with a distinctive and engaging visual identity.  Keep the design clean and simple, but fun!
