Instructions




Process

In this project, we had to make a poster using pasta grannies recipes. The recipe I chose was "Bread Dumpling".

Figure 1.1 Sketch & Organising

I imported the sketch into illustrator. After that, I organised all the layers so that it is easier to separated what part I needed to put in.



Figure 1.2 Illustration Instructions


I used the brushes provided in Illustrator and followed my sketch as guidelines to make the illustrations. 



Figure 1.3 Completed Illustration Instructions

Here is the completed illustration of the instructions.



Figure 1.4 Organizing The Instructions

After completing all the instruction illustrations, I organized the instructions following my tutor's advice. I made the flow of the process using the clockwise method.

Then it was time to move on to the center illustration.



Figure 1.6 Instruction Words

After that, Im finally able to add in the instruction words. I had to find a way to reduce the size of the words so that it wouldn't touch the center or the margins but also make sure it wasn't too small and readable.

Finally, this is the final screenshot of the poster after making some final adjustments. I changed some parts of the colors for the center design to make it pop more.

Feedback

Week 5

For this week, my tutor said he liked the idea of the separated final dish. However, the instructions did not fit the flow of the poster. So he advised me to use the clockwise method for the flow.

Week 6

This week, he gave me some advice to align the instructions properly. Then add the numbers for each of the phases and add a background to make the center look more important. After that he said I should also add arrows to direct the process.

Week 7

For the final week, he approved of the design saying that there was no need for anymore changes.





Reflection


This assignment was quite interesting, having to make an infographic poster using the pasta grannies recipe. Receiving feedback on what I could improve on really helped me understand how to make sure that the design appeals to the viewer's eye and also have a good flow to understand the information. Overall, I'm quite happy with my poster design.
