1. Instructions & Tasks


An infographic poster for ONE recipe selected from Pasta Grannies. Study one video, break down, and chunk the preparation and cooking process into an instructible poster. Try to capture each grandma’s personality and unique dish identity in your poster as part of the narrative structure. Your job is to transmit a set of instructions and at the same time educate the audience. Infographics should be fun; it should simplify the context while representing information graphically.

Reflection
This assignment was an important learning experience for me as it made me realise that beyond the importance of drawing level, typographic skills are also essential in creative work. Through this assignment, I have gained a deep appreciation of how good typography can enhance the overall quality of a piece of work and how important it is in conveying information and emotion.
