Fitting the Full Menu On Your Chalkboard

When you order a chalkboard from Chalk It Up Signs we include the design and layout in your purchase price. A very common issue, when we start creating a layout and design for a customer, is fitting the full Menu on the chalkboard.  In this blog I will take you through the choices you have. And include examples that will help in making the decisions of what to keep and what to add.Fitting the Full Menu On Your Chalkboard, buy a custom restaurant chalkboard sign, chalkboard removable slats chalkboard sign, chalkboard sign with removable slats, katz'z deli. texas, chalkboard sign with removable slats,deli signs, Chalkboard menu, chalkboard restaurant sign, shop for menu chalkboard, shop for chalk art sign, purchase chalkboard art, buy chalk art sign, chalk it up signs, chalk art, chalk signage, hand drawn, hand made, custom chalkboard menu, custom chalk sign, Full Artwork Chalkboards, Menu Chalkboard, Chalk It Up Signs, Custom Chalkboard, Chalk Sign, Chalkboard Menu, Canada, United States, Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, New York, Los Angeles, chalk art design, hand drawn chalk art, chalkboard art, Nanaimo, California, smudge proof, easel, A Frame, Boston, Seattle, Miami, LA, San Francisco, printed chalkboard, framed chalkboard, Scottsdale,Digital Printed Chalkboard, small chalkboard, wedding chalkboard, cafe chalkboard, chalk artist video, How long does it take to make a custom chalkboard

Our customers really love the “El Jalapeno” chalkboard shown here. Great text, images and a variety of menu items make this design a true piece of art. This chalkboard menu is 48″ high and 96″ long. It has approximately 15 items. This left room for a tile border, examples of the food, restaurant name and item descriptions were kept at 1″ high.But what do you do if you have 30 items? 50 items?

Fitting the Full Menu On Your Chalkboard Is about Give and Take.

With breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks and desserts it is easy to have more menu text than will fit. The text on a chalkboard can only get so small. Your menu needs to be readable from 6 to 10 feet. We have learned that 1″ or 72 pt is as smallest you should go. We can go down to 3/4″ but after that it becomes hard to read and hard to draw. It is also important to have “whitespace“, or room around text and images so the eye can rest and read what it is your selling.

The Old Crow decided to remove item descriptions from the chalkboard and provide customers with a handheld menu with all the detail. This left plenty of room for their trade mark crow and some nice menu images. The sign became a focal point and created an identity for the restaurant.

What other options?

Bigger chalkboard, more chalkboards, removing the framing for extra room and finally printing your chalkboard. (go to link for more info)
