China Cafe Menu Background Info
I was eating at China Cafe in Austin and I noticed that their menu could use an update. I spoke with the owner of the business and he offered to pay me for the work. I was especially excited to work on this project because I've always wanted to design a real menu and I loved the food there as well. Below are pictures of the old menu at China Cafe.
China Cafe Menu Redesign
There were a few issues with the original menu that I needed to fix. Some items on the menu were randomly bold without reason while other items were not. There were major kerning issues throughout the menu where letters of menu items would overlap. Some menu items were indented without purpose. I fixed all of these issues and made the overall look of the menu feel more professional and inviting. One challenge in re-designing the menu was that all I really had to work with was the pictures of the old menu that I took myself, I did not have any text to copy and paste. In addition I had to later make changes to some of the prices on the menu as well as the order of some elements, which I was more than happy to do. Below are images of my China Cafe menu redesign.
