Denny's Menu

I found this menu design at Denny's and I decided it would be good example of graphic design to include not only because I am working on a recipe book as a project for a class, which is somewhat of a similar layout, but also because a menu is one the things that can influence a numerous amount of people to try new things.

For example, if a customer walks into a restaurant, the presentation the restaurant first provides will influence the consumer greatly. If they have boring and poorly designed menus they might get a bad first impression of what the food will be. The design of menus can also influence your consumer to try new stuff. For example, Denny's has an example where they provide a different special menu every so often. For this visit I came across a menu titled "Baconalia." In this menu they showcased interesting bacon specials.

The reason I chose this design is because I really like the way they work with type and pictures although the designs arent unified as a whole because every page has a different layout. However, the Designs are easy to read, modern, and show you what the menu items look like which will influence the consumer to purchase it. I think that if the designer followed a certain design on each page the design would be more unified. The function of these menus is to get consumers to feel welcomed and to influence them to try their menu items.
