What You’ll Need to Create Your Fancy Menu Template

We’ll be using Adobe InDesign to create the menu layout, and dipping into Adobe Illustrator to edit the vector graphics for the menu design. 

You’ll also need to download the following fonts and image files:

• Coellack font
• Fiona font
• Rosemary Signature font
• Pack of textile backgrounds
• Art Deco ornament pack
• Kitchenware engraving illustration set

Once you’ve installed the fonts onto your computer and saved the graphic files to a safe place, you’re ready to get started with creating your menu design. 

1. How to Set Up the Menu Template in InDesign

Step 1

Open InDesign and go to File > New > Document. 

In the New Document window, choose Print from the options at the top of the window, and select A4 for the page size. 

To the right side of the window, uncheck Facing Pages. Increase the number of Columns to 3 and set the Gutter to 9 mm. 

Add Margins of 15 mm and a Bleed of 5 mm, before clicking Create. 

Step 2

Expand the Layers panel (Window > Layers) and double-click on Layer 1, renaming it Background. 

Select New Layer from the panel’s main menu at the top right, and create two new layers: Material and Type. 

Lock all the layers except the bottom layer, Background. 

Step 3

Expand the Swatches panel (Window > Color > Swatches) and choose New Color Swatch from the panel’s menu. 

Set the Color Type to Process, Mode to CMYK, and the levels below to C=10 M=2 Y=26 K=0 (Peppermint). Click Add and then OK. 

Repeat to create three more CMYK swatches:

• C=100 M=83 Y=29 K=27 (Blue)
• C=25 M=20 Y=19 K=7 (Silver Gray)
• C=13 M=35 Y=85 K=7 (Gold)

2. How to Add Color and Texture to Your Menu Template

Step 1

Working on the Background layer, select the Rectangle Tool (M) and drag across the whole page and up to the bleed. 

From the Swatches panel, set the Fill Color to Blue. 

Step 2

Lock the Background layer and unlock the Material layer above.

Use the Rectangle Frame Tool (F) to create an image frame across the left half of the page. File > Place, navigate to the Cloth Backgrounds folder, and choose image 25.jpg, before clicking Open. 

Select the image inside the frame directly by double-clicking, and Right-Click > Rotate 90 Degrees CCW.

Allow the paler half of the cloth image to fill the image frame. 

Then select the image frame and Edit > Copy, Edit > Paste it. Then Right-Click > Transform > Flip Horizontal. Move it over to the right side of the page.

Step 3

Select both image frames on the Material layer and go to Object > Effects > Transparency. Set the Mode to Multiply and click OK. 

3. How to Add Typography to Your Menu Design

Step 1

Lock the Material layer and unlock the top layer, Type. 

Use the Type Tool (T) to create a text frame across the center of the top of the page. 

Type in the restaurant name and, from the Character panel (Window > Type & Tables > Character), set the Font to Coellak Rad, Size 60 pt, and increase the Tracking (letter-spacing) to 40. You might want to use the Glyphs panel (Window > Type & Tables > Glyphs) to insert different variations of the characters.  

From the Swatches panel, set the Font Color to Silver Gray. You can add an optional subtitle below, set to a 20 pt Font Size.

Step 2

Open the Art Deco Ornament Pack illustration in Adobe Illustrator. 

Delete the background color and select the four elements of the design shown below, before going to Edit > Copy. 

Return to InDesign and Edit > Paste the design directly onto the menu. 

Switch the Fill Color of the graphic to Silver Gray, and position it to the left of the restaurant name. 

Step 3

Edit > Copy the graphic and then Right-Click > Transform > Flip Horizontal. 

Position it to the right of the restaurant name to frame the header. 

Step 4

Copy and Paste the restaurant title text frame and move it below, reducing the Font Size to 42 pt and editing the text to read the menu name, e.g. ‘A LA CARTE’ or ‘FOOD MENU’.

Step 5

Open the kitchenware01.ai file in Adobe Illustrator. Select the spoon graphic on the far left side and Edit > Copy it. 

Head back to InDesign and Edit > Paste it, switching the Fill Color to Silver Gray. Paste a spoon graphic on either side of the menu title. 

Step 6

Create a text frame spanning the width of the left-hand column, typing in the first subtitle (e.g. ‘STARTERS’), and setting the Font to Coellack Rad, Size 25 pt, and the Font Color to Peppermint. 

Create a text frame below this, typing in the name of the first item on the menu, followed by a series of ellipses, and the price on the right side of the text frame. Set the Font to Fiona Regular, Size 16 pt, and a Peppermint Font Color.

Copy and Paste the text frame repeatedly, creating a block of dishes under the ‘STARTERS’ title. 

Step 7

Select all the ‘STARTERS’ text frames you’ve just created and Right-Click > Group them. 

You can now use this group as a block for populating the rest of the menu design. 

Step 8

Return to the Art Deco Ornament Pack illustration and select the elements around the edge of the graphic, as highlighted below.

Edit > Copy this border graphic. Then head back to InDesign and Edit > Paste it onto the Type layer, rotating it to fit any large gap on the menu layout. 

Set the Fill Color to Silver Gray. 

Inside this border, you can feature a special dish or dish of the day. Set the header in Coellak Rad with a Gold Font Color.

Copy across one or a few of the dish text frames to place inside the border. 

Step 9

Don’t forget to add a little key at the bottom left of the menu, for dishes with special dietary requirements.

The final decorative touch is to add a large text frame across the bottom-right of the page, rotating it slightly and typing in a slogan or quote, before setting the Font to Rosemary Signature and a Gold Font Color.

4. How to Create a Matching Drinks Menu 

Step 1

Expand the Pages panel (Window > Pages). 

On Page 1, Right-Click > Duplicate Spread, to create a copy of the menu. 

Scroll down to Page 2 of your document. Select the Page Tool (Shift-P) and click onto the page to select it. From the top Controls panel, set the Liquid Page Rule to Scale, and then switch the Page Size to A5 from the size menu.

This scales all the elements on the page down to a smaller A5 page size, without the need to resize elements individually. 

Step 2

Working on the Background layer, select the rectangular shape and switch the Fill Color to Peppermint.

Lock the Background layer and unlock the layer above, Material. Delete the image frames on this layer, before creating a new one with the Rectangle Frame Tool (F) that extends across the whole page. 

File > Place, go to the Cloth Backgrounds folder and choose the 28.jpg file, before clicking Open. 

Select the image frame and go to Object > Effects > Transparency. Switch the Mode to Screen and bring the Opacity down to 75%, before clicking OK. 

Step 3

Working on the Type layer, select the restaurant name text frame(s) and switch the Font Color to Gold. Do the same for the border graphics too. 

Switch the name of the menu to ‘DRINKS MENU’ or similar, and the Font Color to Gold. 

Step 4

Delete one of the columns of type from the far left or right side, leaving just two columns of text. Move these centrally onto the page, and revise the headings of each section as required (e.g. to ‘COCKTAILS’, ‘BEERS’, etc). 

Keep the decorative frame, moving it to the top right of the righthand column, and use this to frame the name of some special drinks. 

Change the Font Color of the script text at bottom right to Silver Gray. 

Step 5

Return to the kitchenware01.ai illustration in Adobe Illustrator. This time, select a teapot graphic and Edit > Copy it. Paste it onto your InDesign drinks menu. 

Select a teacup image separately and Copy and Paste it too. 

Adjust the Fill Color of both to Silver Gray. 

5. How to Export Your Menu for Printing

When you’ve finished working on your menu and are ready to send it to print, go to File > Export.

Choose Adobe PDF (Print) from the options in the Format menu at the bottom of the window, name the file, and click Save. 

In the Export Adobe PDF window that opens, choose [Press Quality] for the Preset.

Then click on Marks and Bleeds in the window’s left-hand menu. Check both All Printer’s Marks and Use Document Bleed Settings.

Click Export to create your menu PDF. You can send this document straight off to the printers—great job!

Creating a completely custom font effect from scratch may sound like a daunting task, but it’s much less complicated than it might seem! And the task becomes even simpler when you put some high-quality resources to use—resources that you can customize and alter so you still end up with something that’s unique to you and your project!

In this quick tip, we will be taking a look at how to create a Japanese brush font text effect in Adobe Photoshop.  

Follow along with us over on our Envato Tuts+ YouTube channel:

What You’ll Need

To complete this project, we are using the following resources:

• Brush Stroke Background
• Inky Brush Strokes Graphic Collection
• Japanese Matcha Green Tea
• Little Samurai Font

Find more resources on Envato Elements!

1. How to Create Paint Stroke Photoshop Brushes

First, let’s start by creating an ink brush Photoshop brush.

Step 1

Import an image of painted brush strokes. Ideally, you want them to be long, with tapered and textured edges.

Step 2

Turn the image black and white by going to Image > Adjustments > Desaturate. 

These paint strokes are a little light, so let’s darken them by going to Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast and bringing the Contrast up to 100 and the Brightness down to -150. 

Repeat this step until your paint strokes are a nice solid black. 

Step 3

Select your paint strokes by going to Select > Color Range and clicking on the black paint. Bring the Fuzziness all the way up to 200 and hit OK.

Step 4

Create a Color Fill layer set to black. The color fill layer will automatically take the shape of the selection! 

Step 5

Smooth out the edges of the paint stroke by double-clicking on the color fill layer’s layer mask and choosing Select and Mask.

Set Smooth to 9, Contrast to 24%, and Shift Edge to -30%. Your settings may vary, but we don’t want to lose too much of that streaky brush texture, so be careful! 

Step 6

Finally, Crop down your paint stroke and go to Edit > Define Brush Preset. Name your brush, and you are done!

You will want to make as many brush strokes as possible, but alternatively, you can also download a set of premade brush strokes that come on a transparent background or a premade brush pack that is all ready to go!

Step 7

If you’re not sure how to install Photoshop brushes, you will want to select the Brush Tool, open the Brush window, click on the Gear icon found in the top right-hand corner, and then select Import Brushes. 

From there, you will want to navigate to wherever you save your brushes, select them, and that’s it!      

2. How to Create a Brush Stroke Font Effect 

Finally, let’s move on to creating our Japanese-inspired text effect. 

Step 1

This first step is optional, but it might help you out for your first few tries with this effect! 

Choose a font that’s similar to the structure you want your text to have. In this case, the Japanese brush font “Little Samurai” works perfectly.

Type out your word or phrase. Now, we can use this as a template when we are placing our brush strokes!

Step 2

Import your brush stroke brushes, or have your brush stroke images (with a transparent background) in a folder nearby so you can drop or paint them in as needed.

I will be using these brush stroke PNGs found on Envato Elements.

Step 3

Now, it’s a matter of combing different brush strokes to make different letters. Let’s start with an easy one, “M.”

Drag and drop your strokes to match up with the three vertical lines that make up the lower section of the “M”, using our text as a guide. 

Make sure to use different strokes for each line. You want to avoid patterns and repetition! 

Step 4

Place a fourth line going through the upper portion of all three lines. You have an “M”!

I suggest grouping all of the brush strokes into their own group and naming it according to the letter they create. 

Step 5

You can use the Paint Brush and Eraser Tool to add or take away detail from each line to add further fine-tuning and variation.

Also, remember to Flip lines Vertically and Horizontally and adust both their height and width to avoid the look of repetition.

Step 6

Use the Warp Transform Mode to create and match curves, and to fit the strokes to match the shape of the template text. 

Do these steps over and over until all of your letters are created! 

Step 7

Change the color of the text by adding a Color Fill layer and clipping it into your master group—the group holding all of your letters. 

You can also go ahead and fill in any sparse spots quickly by creating a New Layer below all of your text layers and painting using a hard white brush. This will help your paint look fuller, if that’s the look you are going for!

We’ve Done It!

And there you have it! You can whip up these painted letters in a matter of minutes, and if you find yourself reaching for this kind of text effect fairly often, go ahead and create the whole alphabet, save it in a PSD file, and you’ve officially created your very own template! 

So, as always, keep experimenting with different techniques and practicing, and don’t forget to post your version below, along with any questions, comments, or critiques!

So digital scrapbooking involves using a computer and graphics software to arrange and recombine digital or scanned photos, papers, memorabilia and text on blank pages.

Tried Out a Tutorial? We Want to See Your Work!

Share your work with us—we absolutely love to see what you’ve created, inspired by our tutorials here on Envato Tuts+! From recreations to your own take on the tutorial content, we’re so happy to see your work.

We’ll be keeping an eye out for your submissions, and a selection of them will be showcased, each month, in our Community Showcase. Here’s how to get involved:

• Your artwork or design should be similar to a tutorial that you followed, here on Envato Tuts+. Again, we encourage you to have fun with it, but the relationship should still be visible.
• To share your work, comment on the tutorial that you finished and make sure to attach your results. You don’t have to be a pro to share either—all skill levels are welcomed and encouraged!
• Sharing your work elsewhere, like Facebook or Behance? Please link back to the tutorial so others can check it out, as well! 

A big thank you to all of the wonderful artists, designers, and creatives who shared their work with us this month—we can’t always feature everyone, but we love seeing what you made. Thank you for sharing your work with the community! We’ll be on the lookout for more of your work next month—so keep on creating!
