Menus

[usahgrad]

Hey all...I want your honest to goodness opinions...the following are ideas we have for our menu display. This is going to be a 5 x 7 picture frame at the end of the buffet table. Please, be brutal. I want to know what's not readable...what IS readable...if any...so on and so forth. I was brainstorming and I have certain ones I like better than others, but I'm not sure, so I thought I'd bounce it off of you guys. Thanks you guys!

I like the first one..I think it is the easiest to read!!!

I like the first two, they are the easiest to read. But can I suggest doing a mock up with a less scripted font?

[usahgrad]

I was thinking about it...I'm going to work some more on them tomorrow and see what I come up with...mostly because carrots look likes parrots in that font...and I'm not really into eating sweetened tropical birds. :)

The only thing that I would change is where the word "menu" is. It seems kind of odd to me that it's right across your faces...just my two bits though!

LOL!! The c's were throwing me too. Other than that they look awesome!! I like the first two the best. I like the idea of you sillouettes in the background. Nice touch!! :D

Ok, I did these two last night. This will be in a 5 x 7 picture frame on the buffet table, so I don't think it REALLY needs to say Menu on it. Maybe it does...I dunno...

They are both really nice. But I like the top one.

I really like the top one!!!!

I like the second one the best. I like that entrees and sides is a little bigger. It makes it more of a heading.

I like it without Menu on it too.:D

I think the revised first one is the best. Much clearer. The script fonts are really nice but they are difficult to read. Have you thought about doing it in 8x10? might make it that much easier to read as well.

[WhiskeyGirl]

I like the second one best....and it looks good without "menu" across your face. :wink:

[bnd94]

I agree with Jenn. I think it may look better as an 8x10. That way it will stand out even more. :D

[usahgrad]

I think it would look better bigger too...I'm worried that if it's bigger there will be more of a chance of it getting knocked off the table though...

This is so cool. I like the first one. I can read it easier. And i like it without the word Menu on it.

I don't think that will be too much of an issue. As long as there is enough space for it. If you place it at the end of the table with enough space behind it to pick up a plate without bumping it, should be ok.
