Questions About This Template
Because this template uses a rich #0A0A0A background, it requires significant ink coverage. We highly recommend professional printing or using black cardstock with a white ink printer for the best results.
While possible, it is not recommended. The design relies on negative space and typographic elegance; inserting photos may disrupt the 'sacred' and sophisticated mood of the template.
The template uses a gold color code (#D4AF37) that simulates gold on screen and standard print. To get actual reflective foil, you would need to export the gold layers separately for a specialist printer.
This layout is optimized for curated, shorter menus (such as a 3-course or 5-course meal). For extensive a la carte menus, a multi-column design would be more space-efficient.
Yes, the diya silhouettes are separate design elements. Removing them retains the elegant black and gold 'Gatsby-esque' aesthetic suitable for New Year's Eve or general formal dining.
