How to Design a Foldable Winter Menu with the Winter Landscape Backgrounds
Before you start this tutorial, make sure you already have the winter landscape background file on your computer. Then, go to Shutterstock Editor with your desktop browser.
Step 1: Prepare the Document
We’re going to design a folding menu from an A4-sized document. When you’re creating a new document, input a height of 21cm and a width of 29.7cm. Make sure your resolution is at 300 dpi for the best print quality.
Step 2: Split the Document into Two Sides
To mark the paper fold, we need to make a splitter. Use this trick: Add a Line from the Elements menu, then click More -> Align -> Middle and Center so that the line is right in the center of the document.
Step 3: Insert the Background
After creating the splitter, it’s time to upload the winter background of your choice. Our design canvas is in landscape orientation, so select the available background in the Landscape folder.
Step 4: Arrange the Splitter
If your splitter is covered by the background, rearrange the location of the splitter by right-clicking and selecting Move to Front. If the splitter is hard to see, you can use the Border menu to change the color of the splitter.
Step 5: Add the Text and Adjust the Layout
Next, you can start activating your creativity. On the blank space of the background, add the text, select a font, and start adjusting the layout. Keep in mind that you can alternate between Regular, Bold, and Italic font to make your design look more dynamic.
When you’re done, don’t forget to delete the splitter. Finish up by clicking on the red Download button to save your design on your computer.
Voilà, your winter menu is ready to rock!
