Getting Somewhere!
Last time I shared with you my finalized logo and a draft of a menu cover for Blackbird Gastropub in Norman, Oklahoma. I am very pleased to say that I made some great progress on the menu this week. While I set the menu cover aside, I am not finished with it and plan to edit that a little bit more. So don’t give up on that! This week I also created a draft of a social media post for Blackbird. See below for the progress I have made!
Since I left off last week sharing my menu cover with you, so it only feels right to start this week off with the progress I made on the actual menu. Blackbird’s menu is very lengthy so it has taken me a while to get all the elements onto the page. Due to how big each image is, I have put all of them into a Word document and provided that image below. So I apologize for how small each menu page appears on your screen. In the image below, you are unable to tell that each menu page has a white border. Depending on how I alter the menu cover page, I may be changing the background of each menu. The main thing I will do next on the menus is altering the fonts. I am not yet satisfied with the fonts I have chosen and that is what I plan to fix next. After that will be the fun part. I will then add graphics and designs to the menus to make them visually appealing. I know it doesn’t look like I did much on the menus, but with how new I am at the Adobe Illustrator application, it took me quite a lot of time to create what I have so far. Since I have the tedious part done, I am assuming the next parts will go much quicker! See below for my menu progress!
The other part of the project I worked on this week was the social media post. I decided to make a post designed for Instagram but that could also work on all forms of social media. So far, I have only used Adobe Photoshop to create the social media post. For the content of the post, I decided to use a week long promotion to drive business in from college kids. Going out during finals week is not ideal in my mind at all, but hey, everyone is different! I did a promotion on drinks for this social media post. The post below is not finished yet and I am always open to suggestions! As well as the menus, I plan to alter the fonts on the post and play with the colors a little more. See below!
Well that concludes it for this week! I am excited to have all the hard parts done and now I am able to play around and see what I like best for my remake of Blackbird Gastropub’s content. Feel free to contact me with feedback or suggestions, it is always appreciated!
