The project objective is to create a Menu for a fictional Restaurant named “La Nuit en Café Rouge de Satin”. The restaurant is French and features a variety of classic dishes and bistro offerings. The charge is to design a menu that speaks both to the restaurants name and the food it offers.
A simple parchment paper design was selected to invoke an old world charm. An elegant photograph is woven into the title page for visual interest. For design consistency, Kuenstler Script LT Std was selected as the primary font.
In its completed form, it is a tri-fold piece, eleven by seventeen inches high and wide.

This menu was a featured project in the HCC West Loop Digital Design Art Gallery in Houston, Texas. (2009 – 2010)
Photoshop CS4 is the tool used to process the menu cover image and create the illusion of parchment paper, with the design comp created using inDesign CS3.
The project was created and produced in 2008.
