The amazing spider...wait, its not about him?

Title: The Amazing Restaurant Menu 2

Strange title to claim. What does make this an amazing restaurant menu? Is it the color? The style? The identical hand model in both pages?

Well the text had some thought put into it with a downward descent from left to right. Dish names being bold with icons next to them for easy to identification. Yet the descriptions have a different color that makes them blend too well with the background colors and the small size isn't helping much. Add to those woes is the lack of connection between dish names and their price tags. Hard to tell what home made hot dogs cost with the $6 free floating in space like that. Even after zooming I still have trouble reading the descriptions of the meals on both pages.

Color palette has some range to it with soft tones and shapes resting the background to help contrast with the dish name to hard solid fusion tones that act as borders. Photos thankfully are limited to three per page but their size and shape vary too much.

All in all it's not totally bad like the dreaded Balls of Asia...shudders....but there is a few necessary tweaks to be worked on.
