Final Outcome Recipe Poster

This is my final outcome for the poster after adding in all of the developments.

Development of final outcome

This is my original poster and below are the developments I made:

I developed the bowl by making it look more 3D by curving the top and adding a darker blue as the shadow inside of the bowl. I also made the lines overlap the back of the bowl to give the impression they are coming out from it. I also added the degrees sign on the oven so people don't get confused between degrees and Fahrenheit.

I added a white version of the dotted lines behind the back to make it stand out more from the page and I also added in the eggs at the bottom.

I changed my timer from a timer to a clock that stood out more and showed the cooking time.

I tried out a number of different fonts for my title to help give a handwritten look which suits the style of my poster better. I eventually went with the top one shown above.

Initial Final Outcome Recipe Poster

Once I had made all the graphics I made up my final poster and this was my initial outcome for it.

Developing my initial final outcome

I developed the last step in my design because initially the feedback I got showed that it was not clear enough what the step was telling you to do so I added arrows and an extra spoon to make it clearer.

I decided to add in a code for the amount of each ingredient needed because it was not clear in my diagram:

As my recipe was in cups and teaspoons I came up with symbols for these measurements instead of the words.


I experimented with different coloured backgrounds when developing my design:

I chose the light pink for my final design because it worked well with the existing colours and didn't clash with them.



I also had two different colour options for the bowl but I went with the blue because it complimented the colour scheme better:

Icon Development

Once I had my final design I made my icons for the ingredients and developed some of them a little further.

Final Design

After developing my initial ideas I came up with this final design.

Recipe Design Initial Ideas and Development

 Icon Development

The first thing I did when designing was to develop the icons for my recipe. I tried a few different versions for most of the icons to help me find the best ideas for each and which ones would work best for the style of my poster.

Poster Initial Ideas

Then I started to design my initial ideas taking some inspiration from my research.

I then developed my favourite idea further before creating my final design.
