This task, we need to create infographic poster for one recipe from
"Pasta Grannies" or we can select other recipe in youtube. To began with,
in week 3, Mr. Martin already told us to search for what recipe that we're
going to use. I have two option to consider:
creamy gnocchi from pasta grannies
or
lumpia from Devina Hermawan
in youtube.
In week 4 we can already start to make a presentation slide for proposal
of how are we going to design our poster. I consult the recipe that I'm
going to make and decided to go with the Gnocchi.
During week 5, I began preparing the presentation deck for my infographic
poster proposal. I started by deconstructing the source video, documenting
everything from the ingredients to the step-by-step gnocchi preparation
process within the slides. Once the content was organized, I began to create
the visual design direction.
Figure 4.1: Moodboard.
For the moodboard, I explored different art styles, layout ideas, and color
references. In the end, I decided to go with a vector art style for my
assets.
Figure 4.2: Design direction.
I take the color palette from my moodboard. For the music, I'm trying to
find an italian piece to align with the gnocchi recipe for the animated
poster in project 2. For the typography, I use chunky and bold playful font
just like my references for the title and poppins for body.
Figure 4.3: Visual style.
To make the recipe easy to follow, the kind of visual style I want is
breaking down the dish visually. In the center will be the dish with pasta
flows and labels pointing out to each surrounding ingredient so viewers
can clearly see what goes into the meal. I will also provide the details,
including ingredients list, numbered steps, and brief explanation. All
visual asset will be created in a vector art style.

Assets Creation
To start with, I gather references for each ingredients in pinterest,
then I draw it in illustrator.

After I finish all of the assets, I start to arrange it according to my sketch.
Figure 4.8: Poster progress.
After I playing around with the layout, I feel it's a bit packed, and I need to put the title for both sauce and gnocchi on the top, but then there's no much space left. So, I decided to rearrange the title and the ingredients to the top, and let the process and gnocchi at the bottom.
Figure 4.9: Current poster layout.
After consulting in week 7, Mr. Martin told me to add more texture between the elements and the background. So, I decided to create shadows, add a background texture, and include smoke to indicate the food's heat. The background texture, I decided to go with half tone vintage effect because its kinda remind me of the surface of a cheese. Additionally, I also removed some of the gnocchi from the middle, because it looked a bit weird and overpowering in the center.

Final Poster:
Figure 4.11: Final Infographic Recipe Poster.
The final poster has two things to made: making the gnocchi and making the sauce. It concludes with the finished food presentation in the center to emphasize the recipe about gnocchi.
Below is the final proposal slides:

Week 7
Need more texture, and make the final presentation of the food more complete (ex: the cheese can be shown more)
5. Reflection
Creating an infographic poster for this task was actually quite fun, especially since I had never made one before. Making a good composition and layout was tricky; with so much information to include, I needed to keep it concise while clearly conveying the message so the audience could easily understand it.
Overall, I learned a lot. I also need to create a motion graphic version of this, which I think will be challenging yet very insightful. Mr. martin guided me to refine the poster and improve its visual appeal. While it is not perfect, I will do my best in the future and hope to apply everything I learned from this project to upcoming projects.
