Luxury fine dining menu for a VI, Lagos restaurant with 185 gold fairy lights ceiling. Client wanted menu to feel like dining under real stars — not cheap laminated menu.
I built black + gold foil concept with real starfield texture, constellation sparkle border, gold serif typography. Layout optimizes $12-$120 pricing (Small Chops to Mixed Suya Platter for 2) to increase average ticket.
Problem: Ceiling was 5-star, menu was 2-star — mismatch killing perceived value.
Solution: Menu now matches the experience — Instagram-ready, print-ready, feels like $50/plate.
Tools: Figma + Illustrator + Custom Gold Foil Texture
Deliverables: Print A3, Digital menu, Instagram Story version
Result: Client using it to pitch VI/Lekki premium clientele.
