Canva Template for Steakhouse Menu Redesign

C&W STEAKHOUSE MENU REDESIGN — CANVA TEMPLATE CONTEST

We need a 2-page menu redesigned in Canva. The reference PDF (attached) shows our current look. You bring the design expertise — we'll populate items and prices.

DESIGN BRIEF:
- Dark charcoal header (#1A1A1A) with gold text (#C8A04B)
- Cream body background (#F5F0E0)
- Serif headers (Baskerville-style) + clean sans-serif body
- 2 pages: Food (page 1) + Wine & Cocktails (page 2)

MENU DESIGN BEST PRACTICES TO FOLLOW:
• Strong visual hierarchy — item names pop, descriptions are secondary
• Clean typography — serif headers, sans-serif body. No more than 2 font weights total
• Strategic item placement — high-margin items get prime real estate
• White space is your friend — resist the urge to fill every inch
• Descriptions should be one line max — punchy, not wordy
• Price placement — align consistently, same vertical baseline as item name
• Category headers should be immediately scannable — don't bury them
• Consider a restrained color palette — we're dark/gold/cream, don't add more
• Items with no description look cleaner — use sparingly for visual breathing room
• Layout rhythm — alternate item density between sections for visual flow
• Avoid dollar signs — just the number. "$65" becomes "65"
• Think about what gets eyes first — prime cuts and signature dishes

STRUCTURE TO LAYOUT:
Page 1: TAPAS → Cold & Raw Bar → Salads → Soup → Catch of the Day → Prime Cuts → Bone-In → Sides → Specialty Entrées
Page 2: Wine List → Specialty Cocktails → Martinis → Mocktails

DELIVERABLE: Editable Canva share link with all sections laid out, ready for us to populate.

NOTE: Prices are placeholder — we add them after final menu confirmation.
