Project 1: Instructable infographic poster
Index
1. Instructions
Project 1
An infographic poster for ONE recipe selected
from Pasta Grannies. Study one video, break
down, and chunk the preparation and cooking
process into an instructable poster. Try to
capture each Grandma’s personality and unique
dish identity in your poster as part of the
narrative structure.
Because “A picture is worth a thousand words”.
Yours should reflect the following:
-
To transmit or communicate a message.
-
To present large amounts of information in a
compact and easy-to-understand way.
-
To reveal the data. Discovering cause-effect
relations, knowing what’s happening.
-
To periodically monitor the evolution of
certain parameters.
You will develop an infographic to
communicate a concept, topic, or idea - IN THIS CASE A COMPLETE SET INSTRUCTION TO A
RECIPE.
The infographic should take viewers visually
through the information you want them to learn
or know. Based on your infographic the audience
should be able to learn through viewing and
interpreting the various graphical information
and text.
Theoretical (Information Design Framework)
- Information type
- Device
- Principles (LATCH etc)
-
Aesthetics i.e: isometric, simplified
illustrations
Requirement:
-
You will need to reflect the following
(assessment criteria): Practical - photo
editing/illustration software
- Graphs, charts, and diagrams
-
Poster size: 1240 × 1750 pixels or 2048 ×
2048 pixels
Data Option
- To transmit or communicate a message.
- To present large amounts of information in a compact and easy-to-understand way.
- To reveal the data. Discovering cause-effect relations, knowing what’s happening.
- To periodically monitor the evolution of certain parameters.

Next, I I generated some ideas and started sketching them in a book. You can see four sketches below. The size of poster I decided is in square which is 2048 x 2048 pixels. This is because by using the Miller's Law, I would like to separate the steps into 3 chunks.
Feedbacks
Week 3General Feedback: The purpose of the infographic is to guide viewers visually through the information you want them to learn. By presenting graphical elements and concise text, the audience should be able to comprehend and interpret the content effectively.
Specific Feedback: Mr. Shamsul remind me that I should maintain a consistent graphic style throughout the poster.
Week 4
General Feedback: Add some texture on the background of poster if it looks plain.
Specific Feedback: The final outcome appears a bit complicated due to the abundance of information. The separating parts do not necessarily need to be in equal size. Mr. Shamsul recommended that I try a portrait size, specifically 1240 x 1750 pixels. He suggested making the ingredients part smaller and placing a greater focus on the steps. Remove the separate line as it is unnecessary.
