Good day.
I am taking on the task of creating not just a menu, but a carrier of atmosphere — so that the guest feels the "newspaper," but can read easily and choose quickly.
I work in stages:
structure (6 panels with reading logic) → stylistics (typography, grid) → final layout for print. This allows me to maintain control and not lose readability with a complex composition.
Deadlines: 1-2 days
… What I need from you:
– the full text of the menu
– logo in vector format
– style examples (references)
– technical requirements from the printer (if any)
Questions:
Is there a plan to update the menu in the future (important for layout flexibility)?
Which level of "vintage" is closer — more classic or modern interpretation?
Please send examples of works that you like — this will speed up getting into the style.
I am ready to start working promptly.

I am very interested in your project — I like the idea of a newspaper-style menu. I understand how important it is to maintain a balance between vintage aesthetics and modern readability.
I have over 3 years of experience in graphic design: I work with promotional graphics, visuals for digital, presentations, banners, as well as multi-page materials and printing. I know how to build a clear structure, work with typography and hierarchy, creating designs that not only look aesthetic but are also easy to read.
I confidently work in Adobe (Illustrator, Photoshop), have experience preparing layouts for print, so I will take into account all technical requirements for a correct result.
I pay attention to details, know how to work with style, and create visuals with character without overloading with effects.
