About us

Cal-Mex Restaurant - hungry people

What's your vision?

A menu. I will upload a sample which was actually designed by one of you designers. If you could engage that same designer, it would be great.

The Brief

Other notes

I'm uploading a sample menu and some Word documents for the category. We've decided to either add one more category, "VEgetarian" or state somewhere on the menu "Nearly every item can be made Vegetarian - please ask your server." Finally, we'd like a trifold design with everything on the "inside" of the menu or on one side, except for the logo, address, etc. on the front. We intend to print paper menus but also use the design to create a sign that will be hung on the wall

Bronze package

Every design category has flexible pricing for all budgets. Menu starts at $199.

It all began with a design brief.

A quick, interactive guide helped them understand their design style and captured exactly what they needed in their menu.

Designers across the globe delivered design magic.
