We would prefer to have this designed in Adobe InDesign, but not required.

Winner will receive $25 (or if really good, maybe a bonus) via PayPal. Contest ends in 24 hours.

 

8.5x14 cm or inch ?
PSD format good for you ?

 

Inches and yes, PSD is good. Remember, if we really like the winner's design, we will give a bonus ranging from $5 - $30.

 

landscape mode:

 

Thank you for your 2 submissions. Unfortunately it cannot be in landscape because it will be inserted into our dinner menu book.

We don't particularly like these designs. I think there is a little too much going on in the background. Looking for something that looks more professional -- maybe something you would find in a large chain restaurant. Will try to post another example of a design we like.

 

LOVE every font and color in this example. If you follow this example you will win this contest. Also, as noted above, using our LOGO is NOT REQUIRED.

 

other try:

 

Definitely a HUGE improvement! Remove the underling in the and make the dish names in ALL CAPS, while leaving the descriptions unchanged.

 

Here is a larger version of a flyer that we would would like to see our menu inspired by.

Love this background also.

 

posting soon

 

Wow! AWESOME!!
A few suggestions:

• Replace the 14 February with FOUR SEASONS.
• Try to play with the fonts a little, especially on the "Valentines Day Specials".
• Make the bottom sentence about the desert stand out a little.
• Try adding some type of white elements, maybe like a rose or heart, just to show some contrast. Similar to what weirdXtreme did in his first entry.

 

Less than 1 hour left.

 

revision sir

 

Perfect! The only problem is with the badge on the top. Maybe try playing with it and changing the fonts. Just doesn't look quite right. Everything else is PERFECT!!

 

hope you like it

 

3SS is the winner. Please send me you details.

 

Nice work by the winner - and that menu is making me hungry!
