Who was this site for?

This website was for the restaurant owner and it's customers. I edited the sites web and graphical content such as: the menu's, weekly specials, the main combos, a billboard, door signs, flyers and promotions.

What did I learn?

The owner had plenty of ideas to test my coding/graphic knowledge and skills. I sure learned a lot and a good amount of the work I did for him was new to me.

One idea he had was to show the daily event/special on the mainpage depending on what day it is. I have never created a script dependant on the day before so this was a fun challenge. Here's a working DEMO.

He made me create doorway signs, billboards, menus and various other media that I've never created before. One of the coolest things I made though, were these table signs that allow you to order via a QR code. It took a lot of testing and unfortunately a lot of wasted paper. The end process was really cool although and working on this over time, slowly see it come to life, was awesome.
TLDR: Created graphics to be printed for the physical world, for the first time.

What did I use?

The main applications I used on a daily basis to edit the graphics were Photoshop and Indesign. InDesign was ultilized to create his menus. The Tequilla Menu was the first Menu I've ever created. I've been using Photoshop for decades yet I did learnt some new things. I truly pushed myself as a creator and I did my best to think outside the box.

His websites were created using Wordpress and the other website I worked on for him was also created using Wordpress. I was already familiar creating Wordpress themes from my other client.
