Doodles just seemed to be the way to go on this one. During handover the tri-fold for print and the digital were tweaked adding missing prices and replacing placeholders. The finished product is even better!")

The mountains in the background reflect their logo and branding, the buck is inspired by the big bronze buck in the front of the lodge. The rest just fell into place for the rustic look.")

Through the use of sidebars, call-outs and images I was able to break up the text-heavy 311-page document. Plenty of tables were inserted throughout the document. I am very pleased with the outcome as I was able to add visual interest to a very conservative and somewhat negative subject.")

The expanded menu is designed to be easily printed in house with a letter sized format. Keeping the same font choices as their original menu helps with the transition. Adding food icons gives it a playful, casual feel.")

:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/98/98541/attachment_98541720 "Playing on the brand colors and logo's doodle lines brought the brand together on their menu. 3 line outdents on the highlighted menu items bring the diner's attention without overpowering the menu. Extra large category headers and whimsical illustrations immediately give the impression that this is a unique dinning experience.
I did win the contest, however I liked this entry better than the winning entry.")
