How to Guide
Graphic Design
Project Overview
To create a visually appealing, simple to comprehend how to guide. The design had to have a front and back cover with a maximum allowance of nine steps. The idea had to be well thought out and include a page with the “ingredients” or objects needed to complete the steps.
About the Design
I wanted to create a fun, visually dynamic how to guide. I ended up choosing a fantasy style how to topic of How to Grow a Dragon. The reason for this topic was because I wanted this to be a fun read that kids would have found funny and loved the graphics on the pages.

Process

Sketches
I ended up searching for reference images of the equipment that would be used in the project. I then had to come up with the main steps of the how to guide. Next came the imagery that was to be created for each page.
Final Vector Design
After creating all the assets that were going to be used in the guide, I started putting together each page based on the sketches I created. The end result is what you see above.
