PROJECT 1 - INFOGRAPHIC RECIPE

For our project 1, we were tasked to create an A3 infographic recipe We can choose our own approach to the narrative of the recipe.

The recipe I chose is Hong Kong Egg Tart. The recipe which I have gotten is from Tasty.
Source: https://tasty.co/recipe/hong-kong-style-egg-tarts

Sketches:
The approach which I chose was a story based narrative.

Since Hong Kong is famous for their TV dramas especially police/detective dramas, so I have decided to create a "Hong Kong Underground Egg Tart".

Fig 1.0 Sketches

The story:1st floor (City) - A murder occurred in Hong Kong and the victim's yolk is missing.
2nd floor (Drugs storage) - The butter stole the yolk from the victim and threw it in the mixer with flour and sugar.
3rd floor (Boss office) - The gangster boss was punishing an egg by hanging it above a pool of boiling milk.
4th floor (The Shop) - The mixer from 2nd floor mixes the ingredient and creates the base for egg tart while the egg and boiling milk from 3rd floor creates the custard for the egg tart. It is put together on a conveyor belt, baked in the oven and sold in the shop.

References:
Below are some of the references I sourced from the internet. I chose an isometric design because it is able to organize and display the details clearer to the audience.

PROJECT 1.5 - ANIMATED POSTER

I decided to create an animated GIF for my poster as it is more interesting and suits the concept better. I wanted to make it as if it's an never ending loop of animation in the GIF.
