PROJECT 1 - INSTRUCTABLE INFOGRAPHIC

This project is to create an infographic of a recipe. We were require to choose one video from Pasta Grannies to breakdown and chunk their preparation and cooking progress and to come out with a A3 poster.

The video that I've chose :

2. Grates an onion & add olive oil with garlic

3. Sautes onions and add several salted anchovies

4. Stirs in some home made tomato

Fig 1.2, visual style reference

Fig 1.3, video breakdown

Fig 1.4, sketch

After I have a clear direction of what kind of illustration style I am choosing. I start to come out with the first draft.

Fig 1.5, first draft

I realized that the background seems empty and the words are small that cause it hard to read.

Fig 1.6, changes made

Added background and frame then enlarge the descriptions.

REFLECTION

At first, I have no any idea on how to design a recipe infographic poster. I searched a lot of references and visual style. At the end, I decided to go with hand drawing style for this project. I keep the poster clean with little bit of simple background so that the poster wont look messy with the visual style. Overall, the flip topics help a lot on this project and I have learned new things in this module. At the beginning was difficult to come out with an idea, but after that I enjoyed the progress and happy with my design.
