Fertilizer Sketch



This sketch is a visual representation of fertilizer instructions.  Without using words, I created instructions using symbols.  The most important symbols for this sketch were the arrows and equal sign to guide the viewer along the proper path for their situation.  I worked on about four drafts before it was finalized.  My biggest "aa-ha" moment was when I realized that it needed to be linear in order to not lose the reader.  I think that the color coding of the yellow boxes make it clear where the ending points are.  I utilized circles to embody elements like dryness, wetness, insects, etc.  The circles represent a close up view of the element.  The arrows suggest "above" and "below" as well as the color red as a symbol for hot and blue as a symbol for cool.
