Where's the Beef? Its at Miller's!

Miller's Roast Beef
is a family owned
and operated restaurant since 1986.

Gwen told me if anyone
in her neck of the woods
wants to "Come on in"
they were welcome anytime

You can see the beautiful Cherry Wood Trim Menu Boards
and probably you also - pick up a juicy sandwich!

Check out www.millersroastbeef.com for location info.

This board has no food images - just a soothing contemporary feeling
and Miller's is letting their food speak for itself.

A nice header...

A nice flare strip ...

I will post the client photos - when I get them from Miller's
so we can see how they look inside :) IDSlynne

Its Not Always About Food

I just finished an order for a set of new stainless
Menu Boards - E size - for Metro 24-7 Fitness.
They want to offer Smoothies and list their Client Services

Who Said
It Always
Had To Be
About Food?

So Corporate - wanted something that represented
a Grecian font and had some Grecian Columns -
All of the Smoothies are named after Greek Gods!

I designed
the Franchisee
a bright
Cafe logo

Then designed
some heavy metal!
A diamond-plate
style custom
header

Finally we finished up with a nice smoothie picture
touting the locations special FREE offerings!

Bye for now IDSlynne :)

Full Graphic Menus - The Blue Burrito

We received some great location photos from The Blue Burrito Grille. This artwork was provided to us and takes advantage of the full graphic layout. By going full graphic instead of using strips, many different design elements can fit within a panel. Of course, this comes at the sacrifice of easy price and item changes, but it still looks pretty cool on the wall.

Occasionally,
a retailer might want to tie his (or her) stores together.

I like to use

Break It Down

Take a logo & create elements -
by breaking it down into colors or patterns.

Starting with the logo the client sent.

I needed to make headers
at the client's request.

So I took the star,the brown gradient background & the beige from the swoosh...

to make....

A textured
header

The final product ....

Textured headers & simple single flare strips.. :)

Menu Board Layouts: Farm & Home Oil

This layout was created for the deli section of Farm & Home Oil's C Store

I received some photos of their interiors before creating the menu board layout. This is very helpful, since I can get a good idea of the space that the menu boards will occupy, it helps me decide on a color and typographic solutions.
