    Illustrator tutorial: how to design a restaurant menu

    Learn with Arutza Rico the basic notions of composition when designing a menu in Adobe Illustrator Obviously, in any hospitality business, food is important... but so is everything that surrounds it. From the interior design of the establishment to the clothing of the employees, through the arrangement of the tables or the presentation of the dishes, the design helps complete the message that the kitchen wants to convey. And, of course, the design of the menu is one of the most important legs: depending on the type of restaurant, it must follow certain guidelines. It may be more or less original, but what is certain is that it will have to adapt to the image that the business wants to convey. For this reason, Arutza Rico (@arutzarico), brand strategist, designer, illustrator and lyricist, shows you in the following tutorial how to make a restaurant menu taking advantage of Adobe Illustrator design tools:

    Top Community Cat Projects

    International Cat Day is celebrated on three dates throughout the year, each with its own story and meaning. August 8 was established by the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) in 2002. This date was chosen to honor these beloved pets and promote awareness of their well-being and protection. February 20, however, holds a particular connotation. This date pays tribute to Socks, the famous pet of former U.S. President Bill Clinton. Socks was a resident of the White House, participated in public events, and even had his website. His death on February 20, 2009, due to advanced cancer, led various animal protection organizations to establish this date to pay tribute to him and the rest of his species. National Cat Day is also celebrated in the United States on October 29. This date was created by the "Pet Lifestyle and You" organization in 2005 to encourage cat adoption. At Domestika, a leading community for creatives, we celebrate these days by highlighting the top 5 creative projects inspired by cats from our community. We invite everyone to explore these projects, enjoy the talent and creativity of our members, and find inspiration for their cat-themed creative project. Happy International Cat Day!
