I wish to finish both the take-away menu and the in-house menu this weekend so I can send it to printing this coming Monday. I am almost done with the in-house menu and below are some concepts I had worked on these past few days. I am going for the white backgrounded design as the target group, I hope, would go for this type. I tried printing the inner page in an A3 200gsm white paper which I got from my future printer (vinger trykkeri) and it went well. Margins and folding guides worked so well. Thanks to Lynda.com tutorial 🙂 I did change one thing though, the effects of the images. I removed the bevel and embose effect as it didn’t really help but retained the drop shadow which helped in lifting the images from the surface of the paper.

Thanks for the assistance to Clae Anne and Venus 🙂

GRAP – Location shoot

Today I dropped by my client’s restaurant and took some photos of the place and their products. I was lucky the sun was friendly although it was freezing cold. This was my first location shoot and it went well I guess. Lucky too that customers began coming in while I was there and I was able to take some photos of food that was served so nothing was wasted. Funny because I felt like I was shooting sports photos when it was actually food photography which is usually laid back 🙂 We were avoiding of course serving cold food that I needed to take shots in a flash. Well, it was fun and first time is always the worst so I hope the coming ones would be better.

As to my project, it is constantly evolving. The business card was approved by the client but the brochure was changed to a take-away menu. So I will be actually making them two types of menu list. I hope to make them brochure and more but I guess this would be after my deadline. Anyways, here are some shots from today’s work.
