Task
Instructable Poster
When making the poster, I decided to go with this lasagna recipe:
After confirming the recipe with Mr. Kannan, I listed down the steps and
ingredients as well as visualized how I wanted to illustrate the cooking
process.

Next, I started looking for inspiration from Pinterest and sketched out
how I want my poster layout to look like. Mr Kannan suggested that I could
do three columns merging into one since the recipe calls for two sauces
and pasta.

From here, I got to work on digitizing my idea in Adobe Illustrator.

After adding all the text and graphics, I wasn't satisfied with the font
and the colours of the poster so I decided to play around with different
combinations until I found one I liked.
I settled on making the three columns a similar colour as the flag of
Italy.

Mr Kannan gave me a suggestion to have 3 columns merging into one for my
poster.
Reflection
I got to implement a lot of things I learned in class into this project and I was glad. Working with my partner was a pretty smooth process because we planned well together.
