Flip 3 (Group 4) - Miller's Law by Group 4

Individual Task

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.

These infographics present complex information quickly and clearly, with symbols charts, and diagrams. With an information graphic, computer scientists, mathematicians, and statisticians develop and communicate concepts using a single symbol to process information. 

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. 

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. 

You will be required to evaluate what parts of the topic, concept, or idea are most important to tell/demonstrate and ask how you would represent each piece of information best. You will also decide how to graphically represent the most salient facts about your topic, concept, or idea for student learning. This includes the finishing outcome which could be a slick animation or even a rough stop motion. 

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

Fig 1.7 Speedpaint progress how i sketch the structure poster

While I am making lots of sketches, it keeps rejected. the 1st reason because complicated design, 2nd It didn't follow the instructure until I try do research again from the Pasta Granny Video. Try to capture each Grandma’s personality and then I notice it from the video ( 3 grannies have different color apron ). So I am gonna use their apron color to capture their personality. The poster structure I still gonna use it from the speedpaint progress, but the design I will make sure it was suits element with the 3 grannies personality.

Fig 1. 26 Speedpaint Tortelli Maremmani Ingredients

I draw the materials on the IbisPaint for coloring and then when it was finished I will edit in Adobe Illustration. It was fun for me to design this in the simple way.

Process how I create a poster recipe about "Pasta Granny Tortelli maremmani"!

Fig 1.27a "Structure I want to Use"

Fig 1.27b "Putting the work and edit in Adobe Illustator"

This is what my lecturere told me, the structure was fine but dont use this element and I have to capture 3 Granny Personality. From every sketches I create, I am choosing this one. But I remove the cute design and replace it or do the changes for following the requiered assignment. But I am not sure if what I was expecting can be follow up but I hope my design isn't that bad since I am worry how it turns out for the result.

Fig 1.28 Poster Recipe (Pasta Granny- Tortelli Maremanni)

This is my design but I feel like the the exclamation marks maybe not needed, in the end I removed it.

Further Information : Making Poster Pasta Granny! - Google Drive

I am not sure but I try my best to make it simple in order for me to easy animate without feel difficult with the shading and the shape of elements material that I made.

After talking and got the feedback, Things I need to fix :

1. Background

2. Title Typeface 

3. Ingredients, label it properly.

4. Margin

Inspiration/sample

Inspiration/sample

Fig 1.31 Final Design Poster Recipe (Pasta Granny- Tortelli Maremanni)

I redesigned it in order to make it look nice unlike the old design. For me, my weakness in designing poster is deciding the background. I need to dive more about the design and find more inspiration.

Project 2

In progress, even I'm not experience in adobe, I tried. 

I try use my own old way that I ever go teached in my past semester. I even put it extra editing using other app.

Fig 2.1 Story Board

This is my story board, I arrange and also try add some new featuresin order to make it more nice and alive for this animation slide. I use Adobe Illustration for this and using old semester method to do animation.

New Feature I add :

I add a pan cooking the sauce base following the ingredients step to show how sauce made for some certain page.

Fig 2.2 Pasta Granny Files

I saved every pages to make an animation movement called page-by-page in this file. It totals more then 100 pages and then I  label it in order to avoid the confusion. 

Fig 2.3 Process edit & animate

It is recommended to use Adobe, but not all features I know but I remember some certain way how to do animation which is by "page to page" and "edit in other app", while I edit the sound in there too. For the SFX and music background I used Tiktok Audio since for me it was more nice and easy to be found personaly.
