The objective is to create a set of non-verbal cooking instructions using pictograms, making recipes more accessible to a wider audience, including individuals who may have language barriers or reading difficulties. Utilizing universally understood visual representations, and pictograms, this aims to empower beginners to follow cooking instructions without relying on written text.
The pictograms are intuitive enough for people with diverse cultural backgrounds to understand and complete the recipe steps successfully.
Design Considerations:
Universality: The pictograms are recognizable and easily comprehensible, regardless of the viewer's cultural background or language proficiency.
Clarity and Simplicity: The instructions are clear, simple, and unambiguous to ensure that users can easily follow the steps without confusion.
Sequence: The pictograms are arranged in a logical sequence to represent the chronological order of the cooking process. The cooking process is visualized before, during, and after.
Contextual Understanding: The pictograms convey the necessary context for each step, such as indicating the type of cooking method, utensils required, and ingredient measurements. Values such as time (min), measurements (ml,g), and temperatures(C) are written in Latin numbers.
Consistency: Maintain a consistent visual style throughout the set of pictograms to create a cohesive and coherent user experience.
