Computer literacy/DESKTOP PUBLISHING: Menu Project

Create a dining menu for a theme restaurant. You must use the items listed below and only the items listed below. Your mission, should you choose to accept it (and you do if you don't want a zero!), is to come up with descriptions of each food item and creative names for the food items. For example, if I used a golf theme, I might have the Driver Burger with Tees as the creative name and "Half pound hamburger loaded with tomato, pickles, onions, and our special green sauce. Served with tasty curly fries." as the description. You can "enhance" an item (specify toppings, special sauce, etc.). Your menu will be graded based on originality, creativity, and accuracy.

The menu may use black and two other colors. No additional colors may be used. No entire page shading may be used. Be sure to use borders for enhancement as gradients and fills for backgrounds will not be permitted. They may be printed on colored paper.

You are to tab the prices across the page using dot leaders. This is one of the most important parts of the assignment.
