TASK

For this assignment, we were required to develop an instructable infographic derived from a selected video from the Pasta Grannies YouTube channel.

We needed to analyse the video, break down the cooking and preparation process, and present it clearly in an infographic format. Additionally, we were encouraged to reflect each grandmother’s personality and the uniqueness of their dish as part of the storytelling.

After researching several videos, I chose this pasta recipe as my reference. I was drawn to how detailed and structured the process was, yet it resulted in a simple and comforting homemade dish.

To start the ideation phase, I watched the video multiple times and carefully extracted the steps, rewriting them into clear instructional points.

Next, I explored references on Pinterest and Google Images to understand how food infographics are structured visually. Below are several examples that inspired my approach. I was particularly interested in their clarity, flow, and how information was segmented effectively.

Color Palette

I selected a cream colour as a base to make it feel like a nostalgic or vintage aesthetic. Then red and green to enhance more of the colour of the food since bolognese is full of colour red later on.

Sketches & Idea Exploration

I began with two rough sketches to map out the layout. At first i misunderstood that we could make a instant noodle guide instead of pasta recipe, thus i have the second layout as instant noodles.

Digitalization

I then proceeded to create the visual assets required for the poster.
