Pancakes without Words

June 17, 2009



Wordless pancakes v1.2, originally uploaded by macro girl.

Unique and an original way to walk through the steps of a pancake recipe. The “user” needs not to necessarily be able to read, but must contain some basic cooking skills.

As I continue to consider various forms of information design, this design concept always comes to light.

Questions-
1. How legible is it for the average person?
2. Does this need to be simplified further?
3. Can the same principles be applied for a more complicated set of directions?
4. What kinds/types of symbols are universal to various group of people, and can they be utilized similarly when the written language
is not adequate?
