My group chose to redesign a baklava recipe for our project. The original recipe was a huge block of text that was difficult to read and unorganized. My group listed out the ingredients and equipment, numbered the instructions, added a picture of the product, and added a colorful border. I definitely think that our end project looked much better than the original.
The difficult thing about this project was that we had to fit all of it on one page. My instinct told me to put much more space in between each ingredient listed and make the text bigger, so that it would be easy to glance at while in the kitchen. This was not possible with this recipe, which was rather complex, while maintaining the one sheet of paper standard. We had to play around quite a bit with condensing the instructions, adding columns for the ingredients, and making the borders more narrow. I am sure we still could have been more creative with the limited space we had, and if there is something we receive criticism on, I would assume it to be that.
Our group work was very productive, which made the work for this project run smoothly. We met together twice outside of class, and worked together for part of a class period. During these times, we worked quickly and effectively to end up with a professional looking document.
