PROJECT 01 - INSTRUCTABLE POSTER 

In this project we need to create an infographic style poster based on one of the recipe in the YouTube channal @pastagrannies. The requirements for the poster is 1240 x 1750 pixels or 2048 x 2048 pixels. 

Chosen Recipe: Italian Cheesy Egg Dumplings 

F1.0, Chosen Recipe 

After watching a lot of video, I decided to choose this as my recipe because it was interesting and fun to make. This Italian cheesy egg dumpling is a traditional dish from Molise that uses the leftover pieces of cheese. Besides, it stems from a time when meat was too expensive for most people.

F1.3, Sketches

I start with the sketch, my idea was to separate the sauce and the dumplings' recipes and ingredients so the viewer can understand better compared to putting everything in the same part. So, the left part will be the sauce, the right part will be the dumplings and the bottom part is a big pot that showcases the done cheesy egg dumplings.

Digitization
F1.4, Digitization

I draw all the assets in Procreate and proceed to Adobe Illustrator for the texts and background.

F1.9, Final Outcome

After consulting with Sir Kannan, I made a space for the boarder and decided to use this as the final outcome.




REFLECTION

Experience

For this project, we were required to create an instructable poster based on a recipe from the YouTube channal @pastagrannies. After exploring several videos, I chose the Italian Cheesy Egg Dumplings recipe because it felt unique for me. Normally, dumplings are more oftenly seen in Chinese recipes, so when I saw this Cheesy Egg Dumplings recipe it sound interesting for me. Learning that this dish originated from Molise and it was traditionally made using leftover cheese gave me a different cultural context.

Observation

During the design process, I noticed that the information will look more nicely when keep a little distance from the edge. Because based on my previous work, the text is touch the edge, so it feel a bit "tight". After consultation with Mr. Kannan I change it and keep it some space and it looks more clean. Separate the instructions for sauce and the dumplings also make viewers understand better in my opinion, I separate the sauce and dumplings but I also put the order number from step 1 to step 14 beside the label, so the viewers will not confused.

Findings

Overall, I learned that information design is not just about putting as many information as you can but more to communication and clarity. A well-designed poster will guide the viewer step-by-step while maintaining visual appeal. I also improved my skills in creating poster and more familiar with the steps for create a poster. This projet enhanced my ability to translate complex process, such as cooking instructions fit into a visually engaging and easy to understand layput. I appreaciate all the feedback from my lecturer and my friends.
