Restaurant Menu Design | Photoshop & Illustrator Tutorial
Рет қаралды 397,143
4 жыл бұрынCurious how to make a restaurant menu design? Well, today we will be doing just that!
My Assets are from Adobe Stock ► First Month FREE: bit.ly/AdobeStockTrial
Tools Used ► Adobe CC : bit.ly/AdobeCCLink
The Process
---------------------
The goal will be to design a restaurant specials menu card for a BBQ joint.
I'll be using Illustrator CC for the initial restaurant design concept, content layout, and graphics planning. Photoshop CC will be used for food design imagery and final layout, plus the menu mockup.

A LOT of people have asked me where I get my Image Assets. They're all from Adobe Stock, and there's a 🔗 LINK IN THE DESCRIPTION 🔗 for you to get 1 Month of FREE Images! Plus, if you use that affiliate link, you'll help support the channel, so I can make more videos 😁

I'm not so sure... personally I will lose appetite seeing small lamb as example. In same time I know what kind of meat it is, but emotions will refuse to kill small lamb and serve it. And I'm not a vegan :) Designing a menu, this should be taken in mind.

@@maariuxI think it depends on your cultural context. I'm a Southerner, and it's quite common around here for restaurants to emphasize the animal that the meat comes from in the advertising - I suppose as an implication of freshness, although we possibly take it to a comical extent with some mom-and-pop barbecue restaurants, for example, having smiling pigs in chef's hats as their logos 😂 we are strange folk

Also listing the portion size (ex. 300g, 250g ect.) is very helpful to determine how large the servings are! Just a tip for menu desingers out there

I've noticed a lot of food photography and cinematography has the food which is "too big" to be contained in the frame. Don't know if menu covers use the same principle. But yours came out great.
@BrandonShep 4 жыл бұрын
Thank you! I think food is generally shown as large as possible so people can see the fine details (which is why many products have disclaimers saying the product shown on the package is "enlarged to show detail"). It also might be to subconsciously make people think they are getting larger portion sizes.
