Did graphic design for many years and have helped a restaurant-owner friend with his menu layout. Voted “Anything Goes” because holy crap, menus!
Menus are a cavalcade of competing needs and priorities. Max info, min space, legibility, clarity of content, user limitations, lighting, “specials”, branding, etc.
Have pity on the menu designer. Unless it’s a complete disaster, know they suffered too.
I’d rather do a 64-page annual report than another front & back menu.
