Design Requirements

 * Menu Design Tips
 * 1) Get Organized - Put together what goes together (**Proximity**). Think about categories, price, titles, descriptions and specials that your restaurant offers.
 * 2) Choose a color and font scheme. Use consistent colors and fonts, but only 2 type fonts in total: a san-serif style for headlines and a serif style for smaller descriptions. (**Repetition**)
 * 3) Use High Contrast Colors. Do NOT use any underline. (**Contrast**)
 * 4) Use the correct alignment for each section and be consistent with alignment. Make sure all prices are aligned by the decimal point. Be consistent with center, right and left alignment for sections of the menu. (**Alignment**)
 * 5) Use descriptive text. **All text must be in Spanish. Include at leat 17 items in at least 4 categories.**
 * 6) "Logo is Key": Your logo is the captain of your brand. Make sure it steers the menu design by matching it to your menu fonts, colors and imagery
 * 7) Handle photos with care. Placement and size are critical. All must be creative commons licensed.
