Restaurant Menu Design | Photoshop & Illustrator Tutorial
Curious how to make a restaurant menu design? Well, today we will be doing just that!
My Assets are from Adobe Stock ► First Month FREE: bit.ly/AdobeStockTrial
Tools Used ► Adobe CC : bit.ly/AdobeCCLink
The Process
---------------------
The goal will be to design a restaurant specials menu card for a BBQ joint.
I'll be using Illustrator CC for the initial restaurant design concept, content layout, and graphics planning. Photoshop CC will be used for food design imagery and final layout, plus the menu mockup.

Your rough drafts are always horrendous and the final product is perfection. I envy your ability to see the project in your mind and flesh it out. Thanks for making great content!
This is exactly how I want a tutorial video! I was always wondering what amazing designers have on their mind while designing their creations, and you here, good sir, thinking out loud with every step really helps us along the way! More power to you and your channel!

I love all of your videos but I just love these more where you kind of let us in on your thought process while you're doing it, and letting us know the reason behind why you did what you did i.e. putting shadows, choosing fonts, etc. As a learner, it makes me understand it easier and remember it.

I'm not so sure... personally I will lose appetite seeing small lamb as example. In same time I know what kind of meat it is, but emotions will refuse to kill small lamb and serve it. And I'm not a vegan :) Designing a menu, this should be taken in mind.

@@maariuxI think it depends on your cultural context. I'm a Southerner, and it's quite common around here for restaurants to emphasize the animal that the meat comes from in the advertising - I suppose as an implication of freshness, although we possibly take it to a comical extent with some mom-and-pop barbecue restaurants, for example, having smiling pigs in chef's hats as their logos 😂 we are strange folk

I'm not a designer. I can't use Photoshop to save my life. I have no idea why KZread decided to recommend me your channel. But I watched one of your videos, then another, then a lot, and I subscribed. I have no plans to learn design, but I do plan to keep watching your videos. I find your description of the creative process very helpful and entertaining, and I like the final results (as an end user).
Your designs are so detailed, yet these videos make it seem so easy. Very motivational. Thanks for sharing!
Your explanations for why you chose certain designs were excellent. Very thorough and informative video, thank you!
At first I was like: "What is this guy doing, this looks really bad" But as the video progressed I got more and more impressed. The end result is amazing!
i am blown away! this is the skill that ive always wanted to have! you are beyond good, sir! Thank you
