Modern Cafe Lightbox Menu Design

I have a fully written menu for my café and a wall-mounted lightbox frame on the way—now I need a sleek, modern layout that will make every item pop when the backlight hits. You’ll start from my text copy, recommend a fresh colour palette that works well under LED illumination, and weave in a few appetising product photos to break up the sections visually.

The frame’s internal size will be shared once you’re on board, so the artwork must arrive print-ready at that exact dimension plus bleed. Please also supply the editable source file (Illustrator or layered PSD) along with a hi-res CMYK PDF so I can send it straight to the printer. If you have experience designing menus specifically for lightboxes or illuminated signs, let me know—readability and balanced contrast are critical here.

I’m looking for:
• A clean, contemporary layout that matches the “Modern” style I chose
• Thoughtful colour suggestions optimised for backlit display
• Tasteful use of high-quality images (I’ll provide product photos or you can recommend suitable stock)

Turnaround is flexible but sooner is better, as the frame is already on order. Let’s make this menu the focal point of the café wall.
