Illustration

I divided the poster into 3 parts, the first part is steps to make pasta. Then, the second part is steps to make the sauce. Then, last part is the finish dish. I traced out all the ingredients and also some simple visual art to explain the steps. I also added some text to explain what I am illustrating.

Then I also added steps number so that my audience can clearly see it by order.

REFLECTIONS

I have learned that how to collect information in the video and utilize it into a poster. I also learned to create a neat and clear composition so that my audience can clearly find the information that they wanted in the poster. As a designer, we have to design things that benefit our audience. It is our job to transform the information into a visual form.
