About
The topic I chose for this project was hairstyling. Having been a hairstylist for some time, I figured this topic would be well suited for me as a fun challenge to articulate a habit that comes natural to me.
Layout Project: Hairstyling Guide
This lengthy project involved creating a manual/ instructional document. This involved the most work due to the multiple steps it could take to create content, organize it, and convey instructions both easily and logically.
Process
Since it was a big project, the challenges involved getting photos, creating assets, confirming a layout, and making sure that the images corresponded with each step to ensure clarity and that they reach the goal successfully.
Solutions
The best way to start was to write the content ahead of time, in regards to the step by step instructions, that content was kept separate because it was filled with different notes on what image would be required for each step. Afterwards I'd choose the general layout of each chapter, logically, it made the most sense to introduce the goal, what materials are required, provide a picture of the finished goal and then provide the steps. Sticking to this plan made the project quite easy in the end. It wasn't so much the composition that required so much work, it was more the preparation.
