Menu styles

        http://cowpen.ipower.com/Menu.htm


        I decided to lookup different menu styles so I could see the possibilities out there for future menu designs. I found this menu  design for a New York. This menu I think is pretty good because the fonts are simple enough to go with the design. The spacing isn't too bad between the type either but I do think some of the tracking could be reworked in the paragraphs.

Menu Fonts

Merienda Bold


           I looked up more fonts for the menu if there's anything else I can use. I want the title to have the right amount of focus I need to make the menu successful. This font called merienda bold might work if I made it the new font for little Tokyo. I have so far seen pretty worse fonts out there from researching with my blogs all semester. This font is not too bold but has enough strength I feel to  add something more to my design.

Bad Menus again

    

    http://fightbaddesign.wordpress.com/

    I found another good example of a bad menu design online today. The font to me looks like papyrus believe it or not. There isn't too much font variation at all  in the menu overall and I think the yellow color on the black background isn't a good idea. A black background isn't always a beneficial  feature to a menu design. This menu was design for a grill in NY and I feel that the design is very out of date. This restaurant is apparently in brand new and I feel the design should have been much better, I know if I wanted someone to design my menu for my restaurant I sure wouldn't want this. This could have easily been replicated on Microsoft word.
