Six Steps: How to Enjoy Hotpot



Brief

Create an illustrated brochure-like pamphlet that details a “how-to” tutorial of your choosing in six steps along with a front and back cover.

Summary

To reach the goals of the project, I decided to do a six step guide on how to enjoy hotpot. I utilized Illustrator primarily to use the image tracing feature on stock images of food for the guide. Once I found an acceptable fold for the design, it was printed out at a print shop for a clean print.


Design Process

The project primarily focused on using large pictures to entice readers while the steps were thought doing a restaurant style hotpot at home. The guide was first created in Illustrator before being imported into InDesign for layout and printing.

Design System

The type was chosen to give a fun, bold feel to the title and steps while also being eye-popping. The colors are more related to the patterns and icons as white is the main color with the patterns overlayed on top. The images were image traced using Illustrator to give it more of a hand-drawn feel while being selected from Adobe Stock images and cut out to pop out and entice the viewers.
