Menu Design Creativity

Description

Restaurant menus do more than list dishes; their design shapes how guests read them. The lessons begin with brand identity, then explain menu design principles and layout.

You read about typography and colour, visual hierarchy and eye flow, choosing between templates and custom designs, and grid systems for setting out items. Later lessons cover item descriptions and pricing, photos and illustrations, preparing print files, and distributing menu designs. Templates, checklists and exercises appear in several lessons. By the end you can lay out a menu that reflects the restaurant’s identity and is ready for the printer.

Who it is for: restaurant owners and designers who create menus for print.
