In week 5, we were told to continue our work.

INSTRUCTIONS



Project 1: Instructable Infographics

For our first project, we are required to make an infographic poster for one recipe selected from Pasta Grannies (https://www.youtube.com/user/pastagrannies/videos). To start on making this project we all need to study one video, breakdown and chunk the preparation and cooking process into an instructable poster.

Poster size: 1240 x 1750 pixels or 2048 x 2048 pixels

Breakdown

For breakdown, I picked a video about Maria's spinach lasagna.

  5. Add more ragu followed by some spoons of bechamel sauce and plenty of grated Parmigiano
  6. Repeat this process until the tray is nearly full. There should be seven layers of pasta
  7. Finish the lasagna with a layer of bechamel, Parmigiano, and some butter
  8. Cut it to four pieces so that the heat goes between the sheets

After finishing breaking down the ingredients and the recipe for the lasagna, I then start to design my poster on Illustrator. I start it off with a sketch for the poster.

Then I proceed to digitize my sketch.


Fig. 1.2 Final Instructable Infographic

I changed some of the composition of my poster and some of my drawings from the sketch.

FEEDBACK

Ms. Anis said that I can proceed to the next project with my final instructable infographic.

REFLECTIONS

During the process of making this poster, I was quite struggling on thinking about the composition for my poster. It took me a while to create the sketch. The digitization process took a long time to do because I had to make some changes on here and that. A lot of stuff were done to try on making my poster look better.

She showed us her sketch in Photoshop and taught us about panel arrangements, camera angles, compositions and etc.  After sketching several panels we then proceed to a lecture session with Ms. Anis. For the lecture, Ms. Anis presented us with how to make comics.  To startup making comics, we need to come up with an idea. To get ideas, we can get it from our experiences. Good ideas never come from browsing google aimlessly. We can come up with ideas by brainstorming or even mind mapping. 5 Assignment practice (building a mental library) Watch cartoons/movies Play new games Read new mangas/comics/graphic novels Listen to different genres of music (ambient/cultural) Try a new dish.
