BACKGROUND

The Brass Monkey is a local restaurant and bar in the Livingston, Alabama, community. Located near the University of West Alabama campus, it is a student favorite for wings, beer, live music, and a good time.

BEHIND THE DESIGN

I incorporated western elements such as the eroded title font since this venue was previously known as “The Brass Monkey Saloon.” I also added a distressed texture over the entire menu to mirror the rustic, weathered charm of the building it calls home. The Brass Monkey’s logo is an image of three monkeys, so I kept the color palette of the menu in correlation with the black and white image. I designed the menu with ease-of-access in mind, so it is formatted as a horizontal front-and-back menu.
