PROJECT 1 - Instructable Infographic

Part 1 : Recipe Infographic Poster

For this project, we have to make a recipe infographic poster and Ms Anis suggested us to take the recipe from http://allrecipes.com. I decided to make about eggs Benedict because it's not a simple dish yet it's not too complex either. Firstly, I listed down the ingredients and steps that were going to be in the infographic poster.

After listing down the recipe, I started illustrating the ingredients, tools and eggs Benedict itself. I felt that it would be empty without a salmon, so I added the salmon to give it more color.

I tried to add some other ingredients that would go well with the eggs Benedict, so I researched and decided to put bacons.

Next, I started organising and choosing font for my poster.

I thought that the arrangement still looks very messy so I rearranged and adjusted more to make it hierarchy.

Part 2 : Recipe Infographic Video

Once the poster was done, we were tasked to animate the recipe into 30-45 seconds video using After Effects.
