Clarinda's

So I was hired a couple of months ago by a friend of a friend to redesign the menus for a small tea shop at the bottom of the royal mile. 'Clarinda's' is a lovely wee shop and they do the best hot chocolate in town, you should go. Their menus were outdated and not very attractive.

I was asked to design menus that stayed close to the themes and style of the shop but that also looked really fresh and new. The only must was the profile of Clarinda, Robert Burns' famous mistress.




They eventually chose this design which is obviously the one I liked least. I really got the feel of the client-designer relationship with this project. I like being thrown in the deep end :)
