Spaghetti How-To

For my spaghetti dinner “How-To” design, the viewer that I had to keep in mind while creating it was supposed to be someone who possibly didn’t speak English, so therefore I didn’t use words. I used numbers to order the steps, and for step 3 I broke it down into 3a and 3b. In addition to the numbered steps and, arrows connected the pictures. The purpose was to show step-by-step how to make a simple spaghetti dinner. The biggest problem I encountered was how detailed the design needed to be, keeping in mind cognitive load while still showing all the necessary steps. I decided to make 5 steps, one of which was broken into two, to keep the load to a minimum while still displaying the message.
