Being an enthusiastic baker and cook, and enjoying developing new recipes and tweaking existing ones, I created BakeCent — an app for writing down personal recipes — as a hobby project. The app follows the baker's percent approach, which uses percents instead of conventional measurements like cups and spoons.
I wanted to add a set of basic infographics to the app to help with on-boarding of new users.
For the graphics, a simple line style was chosen for clarity and ease of implementation. To add some interest, I added a slight offset to the fill.
Resulting infographics have made it easier to explain the logic behind the app, namely:
The difference between a regular recipe and a formula and the notion of converting percents to weight in grams on the fly.
Usage of "Anchor" ingredients that total to 100%.
Advantages of using the anchor ingredients when scaling or adjusting a formula.
Bakecent is currently in closed beta. Contact me if you are interested in testing the app.
