Importance of a Right Menu Design

Branding is a set of activities which create a direct impact on customer’s mind for brand’s USP. Usually menu design consultant advice for a brand identity to resemble it, so do we.

Visual Impact to a Menu

Visual impact is highest achieved with high quality dripping food pictures and having a story line for each of USP dish. Mind of a customer is now very inquisitive to know what the dish must be like, and here’s how it’s sold.

Selecting colors based on the target audience and the theme of the restaurant. Different colors have different psychological effects on a viewer, so your color scheme will help to set the mood of a restaurant as well as draws attention to certain food items.

Appealing typography will communicate a restaurant’s brand and result in a legible menu. Selection of fonts may depend on a number of practical factors, such as the amount of text needed to comfortably fit on the page. Using more than one typeface – say, to distinguish the names and descriptions of menu items – may help to guide customers through the menu.
