The octopus is one of my favorite animals. So I wanted to do something involving an octopus. I went with a sort of whimsical design, because thats who I am as a person. I figured making a sushi restaurant was the way to go. 

I made the background look like a sushi mat, I may change it to face the other direction. I thought this direction would be better because the menu itself is vertical. I created all the little images because I personally like menus with pictures, well I don't have any pictures of these things that would work well on this menu so I made them in Illustrator.
