Week 6-7: No lectures, all classes held was focused on feedback.
For this project we were tasked to pick a video from Pasta Grannies' Youtube channel, where there are a lot of recipes. After picking a video we were task to make an infographic poster about the recipes, I decided to go with Signature Tagliatelle shown below is the video that I picked, I choose it as it was interesting for me, and I feel like I could play a lot with it as it have several steps.

After picking the video I started to write down the steps to get an idea of the entire process of making the pasta from start to finish, and also the list of ingredients used. Shown below are the steps I wrote down.
Fig. 1.1, Steps and ingredients, (Week 5)
After that, I realized that the steps could be simplified more as right now it's too much steps to put down in the poster.

Then I went to Pinterest to get references and inspirations for my poster. Shown below are some of the reference that I took.

I also decided to choose a soft color palette for the poster, and shades of yellow which resembles pasta.
Fig. 1.4, Color Palette, (Week 5)
After that I went to my Ipad and used Procreate in order to make a rough sketch, my idea is to put the steps in a pasta dough that flows from the top lift and swirls down to the bottom right where there is going to be an illustration of the final platting of the pasta.

After that, I started my progress in Illustrator by drawing my assets which corelates with each of the steps of making the pasta. I also made the illustrations of the ingredients used along with the end result of the pasta that is going to be shown on the bottom left of the poster.

Then, I made another file with the size of 1240 x 1750 pixels, created the main flow and then started to put the illustrations into the poster.

Next, I started to put all the required text, starting from the title, sub-title, and then all the steps required.

Shown below is the poster before week 6's feedback.

After week 6's feedback, some changes are made according to the small problems that Sir. Kannan spotted which includes the use of hierarchy, shown below is the final poster made after week 6's feedback session.

Feedback
Week 5: Sir. Kannan likes the overall flow of the poster, however the title could be moved more to the right as right now it clashes with the "part 1: making tagliatelle", the word "signature" could also be made smaller. Change the word "Part" into "Phase".
Week 6: Sir. Kannan likes the poster, there isn't much to be changed. Just make the word "Phase 1, 2, & 3 bigger so there's more emphasis on it, change the color of the text box to differenciate phase 1 and 2, and make the numbered circle descending in size from number 1 -2 so that the viewer's eyes follows the correct order of
Reflections
In this project I learned a lot on processing information, as there was a lot of information that are taken out from the video. I learned to simplify information and bring it down to just the important ones so that it could fit into the poster.
In addition to that in this project, with the feedbacks given each week, I learned the importance of hierarchy and how it becomes the guide for the eyes to read the pieces of information in the correct order. I learned that playing with sizes could really help guide the viewer's eyes on which steps comes first (in my poster the size of the number 1. is bigger and get's smaller to number 3) and playing with color could help in identification (from phase 1 to phase 2). Overall I really enjoyed doing this task, I learned a lot on processing information and hierarchy while doing it.,
