Kindergarten Job Aid/Handout




This is a fairly simple handout, but it needs to be in order for my students to comprehend the directions.  Visuals like these are extremely important to students as they are learning how to read.  I would love to have feedback on how to make the design a little more elaborate.

Malaria handout/job aid

I would definitely say that there are too many steps within the original poster, and this one too.  But, I was hesitant to condense too much or eliminate any steps because it seems like medical diagnoses processes are high/risk and it is critical that they be performed accurately.  I'm guessing that there is some sort of official approval process that this material must undergo before publication and distribution, that requires certain content, wording, and lingo to remain in tact.  Not really sure though...clearly I am not familiar with medical publications!

The grey is not part of our draft, the white is the outline of a page if it were to print. 

Looking forward to feedback

Malaria Poster



The original poster seemed way too crowded. When I see that many steps I automatically get overwhelmed, so my goal was to simplify and chunk the information onto 2 pages (front and back) to make it easier to follow. I put more steps on the back b/c I figured getting all of the materials was a large/important step. I added lines to help guide the eye, chunk, and organize the information.

I'm still trying to get the hang of photoshop so any advice would be great!!!!

Brunois - Knife CUts for Culinary Students

I have been working on a plan for a series of knife cuts for my students.  This one is called Brunois and it is the result of several other cuts the students will have learned by this time called planks, sticks, and juliennes.  A burnous is that fine garnish cut many restaurants use to decorate plates simply but with a lot of color.  If done properly, the pieces should be uniform in perfect cubes.

This is not fully aligned but it gives the appearance of what I am looking to do.  Vegetable aids will have a green border, meat descriptive aids will have a red border, etc.
