Trying to make something cool doesn't mean you should loose basics.

Title: Laelet Alkaif Menu

I have no idea what type of restaurant this is supposed to be. Best guess from the information presented is a new age organic fruit /cafe. Um, the proprietors seem to like big, singular pictures to the left leaving a very small space for wording that seems to blend too much with the mocha background. I want to find the person that design and yell at his face for not using a better contrasting color for his text. "Where is the white?!" I would say.

Sigh. I get the fact the artist was trying to get the cool metro sexual organic loving coffee vibe for his/hers patrons. But that shouldn't be an excuse for poor design. Bad Color palette choices, giant pictures that take up too much space. Too tiny text blocks with coloring that blends too well with the backgrounds. Unbalanced ratio of space usage. Any person would have a hard time reading the words while being eagerly wanting more illustrations of the dishes listed and not photos taken from a photographer's studio.

Just bad design here.
