How to Graphic

For this assignment, we create "how to make spaghetti dinner" for the audiences who do not understand our language; therefore, we have to use only graphics. However, we are able to use the words that always appear on the products. 

First, I started to draw the materials to cook the spaghetti and tomato source. These materials and tomato source were not hard to draw since cooking materials are universal products. However, spaghetti box and salt were hard to draw without products' name. 

Second, I started to draw the steps to cook. Since I always cook sauce and pasta at the same time, I draw the steps of cooking pasta and sauce at the right and left sides. By showing two different steps at sides, I was trying to tell that to start cooking spaghetti and sauce at the same time. For the steps of spaghetti, I drew the blue bubbles to represent "boiled water", two fingers with salt to represent "adding the little of salt", and circle with two lines and colored to represent "wait for 10-12 mins." Drawing these graphics were the hardest parts. Although drawing steps at different sides, those steps come to the middle at the end as representing "serve."  

Although steps ended as "serve", I thought that some audiences might think that there would be more steps, so I drew the tomato sauce spaghetti plate with a happy kid tries to eat by fork. Therefore, the audiences would know that cooking steps are ended.  

Through this assignment, I had first thought some kinds of spaghetti dinner; with meatballs or different sauce. However, if I drew the meatballs the audience would not know what the brown balls are, and the audiences might be vegetarians. Therefore, I decided to draw simple and easy spaghetti dinner. I had struggled with using spaces; therefore, my first drawing had too much things that the audiences would confuse. I was going to use numbers for timer, but some countries do not use numbers that we use. I thought it was going to be easy assignment; however, started to think more and more about the audiences, it was harder to decide graphics to draw. 

However, I enjoyed this assignment, and I have learned more about the audiences. Also, it is not actually easy to present the steps with only graphics for the audiences who do not understand out language.
