The way you broke down the menu was really key, I think you're improving how approachable your videos are for designers because we can see the real unfiltered process and your decision making in stages better than, say, a year ago.
That menu has so much personality!! Would love to see you do some videos with CMYK and pantone colors regarding printing and how that works. Print and packaging design is still so confusing to meee
"what would Abi Connick do"?... What I think about when I sometimes run into a creative block. You've always been a great creative source for me personally ever since I found your channel. Thank you. 👋 Hailing from Nigeria.
I clicked on this video expecting the making of some basic logo but WOAHH, I'm blown away, so impressed, especially the menu, feels like it has so much personality!
I do graphic design for over 5 years already but in PS then I just started learning Illustrator last month and I am loving it. I'm grateful for this channel coz I am learning a lot of detailed process when it comes to designing brands, not really sure what niche you focus on is brand stategy or brand identity but I'm getting interested on this niche. I'm desiring to go back freelancing but now as a Graphic Designer. I am learning a lot from you Abi. Thank you so much!
If you’re wondering why my eyes look red, sore and swollen, I’ve been dealing with an allergic reaction to something which has inflamed my eyelids for around a month!!!😵💫 the show must go on though…lol
You are amazing! I love that you kept it real and relatable. It made me realize that all the confusion, going a step back, and taking a break from work is all normal and even experienced by an amazing person like you. Thank you!
Everytime when you come up with a fresh video I am able to learn such innovative things that I never ever experienced before. Really the techniques of your workflow has no bounds.
What a gorgeous final transformation! I love all the details and the consideration for colors and typography! The Menu also really POPS with the bubbles and imagery, i love it!!! I was wondering if in a future Q&A you could maybe answer what Adobe Programs you use the most for your client projects? And how much do you spend per month on your "design resources" for example subscription plans, stock images etc. :D
Ah thank you! Really appreciate the kind words ☺️ yes of course! I mainly use illustrator, and main resource is just envato, but will go more in-depth in the future!
Oh my god Abi! This is probably my favorite work of yours! That menu is incredible and can we talk about those skulls please, they are so authentic! I love everything about this identity!
Ahhh thank you!!! 🧡 really appreciate it ☺️ (p.s I do love the skulls on this! Was really fun to create as it was something a bit different from the usual!)
I absolutely LOVE how you edit your videos! It makes it so enjoyable to watch while learning new things in the process. Would definitely be cool to see some behind the scenes of that ☺
That's such a beautiful menu, it's genious. It's funny how a couple of little things like the triangles and the change on the font give such personality already, and that you could use both elements on the menu. Everything fits perfectly
I paused the video before knowing which typo you choose. As designer I like the first option, I vote for that In the other side, as mexican I can tell you the second one, with those grunge style, could be a nice choice because many of mexican street walls looks like that. Ok now I’ll continue the video
Those skulls have my heart💕💕 and please take care of your eyes. I am so worried🥺 BTW nothing feels better than this seeing your design in life. You should make a reel on this song lol. Take care stay safe.💗
They were so fun to make!!! They’ve been looked at and I’ve been prescribed some cream which is helping (finally haha)!! So good to see the menu in real life!! Thank you lovely 🧡
Hi Abi! Hope you get better! Just wanted to say that your videos always make me motivated to work on my graphic design skills! Could you do a video for a service-based client? Eg: waste management
Extremely it's firing and you did it with creative thinking... after I was a fan of yours for 5 months watching your earlier and latest videos, they're such amazing not only that but they make sense and are on point. I liked the way you interacted when you got stuck and moved away, and after you come back how you came up with the creative solution. it reminded me a week ago, how this happened to me in the field of programming 😁😁 Anyways @abiconnick keep firing it... 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Your thumbnail image definitely had me thinking I was stepping into a horror story lol but as always, a truly wonderful brand identity. What a lucky restaurant ! All your rationales were so purposeful and strategic. And the visuals were amazing🔥
I love Mexican food and you added just the right amount of spice to this brand 😍😍 I love it sooooo much and the menu looked really cool. I think we both can relate to how it feels when it comes to holding printable versions of a hand created design 🤪🔥
@abi it's awesome work. Select the best color wheel + 5 different personalities + different shapes/doodles. with contrast customize fonts as per Mexican theme. Keep it up.
Honestly your work is Amazing Abi. I strive to be a better designer. I finished uni last year in Design and I feel stuck. I feel I am no good designer. Also I know that I am not a good drawer. So I just don't know how to approach design anymore. I am stuck in the loop of just watching videos and never doing any actual design.
You had the same problem I have with grunge fonts. The problem with these fonts is that they are already "designed" . Trying to typography them is near useless.
congratulations for the new set up . i really liked how clean and professional it looks .I have a question how did you draw the first part of the skull ? btw the outcome tuned out stunning as always you are my go to designer when it comes to tutorials and case studies wish you all the best .
Thank you, appreciate it! I drew the skull using the pencil tool, have a dedicated video n it here: ua-cam.com/video/ows4mzaD0hY/v-deo.html Thank you for the kind words and support 😊
You just reminded me I did a menu for a Mexican restaurant when I was in uni I’ve definitely improved since! Now you’ve made me wanna do a menu! Looks epic! Also don’t you use your iMac anymore?
First menu I’ve done in ages, and it was so fun! Thank you 😊 yes I do! I work between my laptop and iMac, I just find myself on the go a little more so sometimes the laptop is more convenient!
This was amazing! You do such good work. Love watching your videos. Curious how you manipulate the fonts with such ease in Illustrator. Can I ask what tools, programs, extensions you use the most? Thanks for your time, so greatly appreciated 🙂
Thank you ☺️ appreciate it! If you go onto my channel I have lots of videos about this subject! Ones called ‘how to master the pencil tool’ the others are about manipulating and customising fonts ☺️
Awesome video and well done editing! Thanks for you inspiring work. I would love to know the name of the color wheel that came with your monitor, such a cool and useful gadget! Keep up the good work 😄
Thank you, really appreciate it ☺️ the colour wheel is one of those things I didn’t realise I needed until I started using it! But it only comes exclusively with the monitor!
Thats soo nice. Absolutly LOVE the menu design incorporating with the logo so nicely. How did you printed the menu so well? Online/in a shop or do you have a Printer that could print seamless? If yes, which ?:)
Thank you so much! Always good once you’ve designed the branding to then implement it onto printed material!!! I outsourced this with a printer (solopress)! X

Wow!! You’re so insanely talented! I just started my own logo design/ custom apparel business and I LOVE watching your videos while I do my work 💙
Thank you Vicky 🧡 glad you’ve found the videos helpful! I wish you and the business all the best, you got this!!!
Damn how can I like twice, you know perfectly how to represent ideas and give them authenticity ! The menu part was so smooth ! 🔥
Haha love that! So glad you enjoyed this type of video!! The menu was so fun to design and turned out better than I thought!!😎
Oh my god, that menu! 😍😍😍 In love. So inspirational. Kinda speechless... 😅 Thank you for sharing this! ♡
Turned out better than I thought it would!!!🥵 loved designing the menu!!! Thank you for the support!
The Logo design and especially the menu design is phenomenal. It looks soo pleasing, I'd definitely go this restaurant when I go to Mexico.
Thank you so much!!! Really enjoyed creating the menu was such a fun design to make whilst putting the new brand identity to the test😎
Walking away for a bit just helps the process so much. Some of my best ideas have come from my dog walks.
It’s so hard to do in the moment but yes, it helps so much!
Awesome video and final result! I think you put a lot of value to beginner designers with your process, keep going! :)
Thank you so much, really appreciate the feedback! Love being able to share my process!
That menu breakdown, absolutely perfect! Great editing.
Ah thank you! Appreciate it ☺️
Thankyou so much Aby!!! I love your videos each day!!! I like your T-shirt!!! 😘😉🥰 Keep going.....

Ahh thank you 😊
The transition at 9:00 was soo creative... Along with design skills you are also teaching us video production skills & tips 😂🙌🏼
Best Mentor💫
Haha thank you! (It took a few attempts 🤣) really appreciate the kind words ☺️
Amazing work as usual! I liked the consistency you used in the brand and the story of the five men was brilliant.
Thanks so much!! Loved being able to bring in the story to the design!! Such a fun way of keeping the story going🧡
Abi this was super impressive!!! I cant express how much amazed I feel. You are truly iconic!
Thank you 😊 Really appreciate the kind words!
I really really love your work!! I learned a lot watching your videos .
I wish you fast recovery 🙏 ♥️
Thank you so much!! Glad my videos can help others 🧡

Honestly your work is Amazing Abi. I strive to be a better designer. I finished uni last year in Design and I feel stuck. I feel I am no good designer. Also I know that I am not a good drawer. So I just don't know how to approach design anymore. I am stuck in the loop of just watching videos and never doing any actual design.
Consistency in design. Sometimes so easy, but so difficult to maintain at the same time.
This!!! Sometimes I nail it and it just clicks together perfectly and sometimes it’s such a struggle 🥵
You had the same problem I have with grunge fonts. The problem with these fonts is that they are already "designed" . Trying to typography them is near useless.
Yes this is true! (Glad to know I’m not the only one 😅)
Amazing video help a lot ✨ Thank you
No problem! Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
I would love to see a video on how to deliver the packaging files to the client
Noted! I’ll do one soon
This is beautiful abi 😍😻🤩 !!!!!
Thank you! ☺️
This is sooo beautiful 🥺♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
You are so kind! Really enjoyed designing and working on this project!!!✨
Last 2 thumbnails r a banger
Haha thank you! Playing that UA-cam game!
You’re eyes… are you okay darling?

Wish you all the best!!! Appreciate the support ☺️
@@abiconnick Thanks, keep up the good work!
You just reminded me I did a menu for a Mexican restaurant when I was in uni I’ve definitely improved since! Now you’ve made me wanna do a menu! Looks epic! Also don’t you use your iMac anymore?
First menu I’ve done in ages, and it was so fun! Thank you 😊 yes I do! I work between my laptop and iMac, I just find myself on the go a little more so sometimes the laptop is more convenient!
I'd love to see the client's reaction.
I should do this for a future video! Just hard finding a client willing got be on camera!
She's better because my "minimalism" head would have stop after she added images of food on the menu lol. Amazing video! ❤️
Thank you so much 😊
This is amazing! I want to visit this restaurant now
Me too! Mexicans one of my fav restaurants!!
That menu!!🔥🔥
Fits so well doesn’t it!!!
