Project 1: Instructable Poster

• An infographic poster for ONE recipe selected from Pasta Grannies @ https://www.youtube.com/user/pastagrannies/videos
• 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.

• Poster size: 1240 × 1750 pixels or 2048 × 2048 pixels

TO DO LIST:

• Identify a granny.

My idea is to draw those ingredients because I want those who want to learn this dish to have a clearer understanding of what ingredients are needed, and to write a clearer production process.

REFLECTION

It's an interesting journey. To be honest, I almost couldn't make it at one point because this project was brought in and crowded in between a lot of other projects. However, I pulled through and I feel like I did learn a lot of practical execution skills. In this project, I made a lot of effort to find a lot of materials and also studied the layout and design of various designers. I believe it will be very useful sometime in the future.
