A simple 4-page menu

This menu will start you on the path toward using style palettes and leaders. We'll keep it simple:

• One color -- Pantone 476 uncoated on a soft gray textured paper.

• Page size: 5"x16"

You will be assembling the pages into printers spreads. So, the trim size will be 10"x16". The page will be laid out like you see below. After both sides are printed on an 11"x17" sheep of cover stock, the sheets will be folded in half vertically to 5.5"x17" and then trimmed on three sides to 5"x16". Below you will find the copy and pieces needed to construct this menu.

FRONT COVER:

Name: The Wine Cellar on Good Counsel

• Click on the image to the left and download it.

It is a very large GIF (six and a half inches wide and nearly twenty inches tall). You will have to resize it for your layout.

• Open it in Photoshop.

• Choose Modify>>Image Size and turn off Resampling.

• Then change the width to 3".

• Change the Mode to Grayscale (under the Modify menu).

• Save the file as a PSD or TIFF.

• Place it on the front cover of your menu.

• Color it PMS 254.

• Put the bottom edge a half inch from the bottom of the page.

BACK COVER COPY:

High above the city on the edge of the plain overlooking the entire river valley. This cellar is designed for romance.

• Soft & romantic — yet dramatic

• BONUS! I will give you 15 points for an illustration of the view. It's on the Good Council acreage on the edge of the bluff overlooking the Minnesota River Valley, Mankato, & North Mankato

THERE'S THE COPY: over in the right sidebar

• Set up your paragraph styles

It is much easier if you do this before you import the copy. You'll need styles for headline, subhead, menu item, item description, and so on.

• Copy the right sidebar copy & paste it into your document

• Format with the styles you set up.

General Instructions:

The menu layout is your choice. The only limitation is that there can be no menu items on the front cover. This needs to be very stylish and elegant. It is a menu for the most romantic restaurant in the city, with a breath-taking view, and super food.

• You submit 2 PDFs with marks. One separated and one composite.

• You will need to hand draw the fold marks (a dotted line in a special spot-color that does not print).
