Infographic

I was trying to convey how to make drinks on the cheap. This  information can be important to the general public who likes to drink for fun. The infographic was made to make the consumer aware of the drink. The pictures only show what is needed for the drink. I used this design because I felt it was easy to read and see. I wish I could have used nicer images to display the info. Additionally, if I were to do it again I would do a different drink.

Chile Pepper Guide 1 of 2

When purchasing chile peppers the same criteria applies to buying fresh sweet peppers. The skins should be tight and glossy and the pepper firm with no bruises or soft spots.

Storing: store fresh chiles in a paper bag in the refrigerator. Most chiles you can keep up to two weeks.

Cooking : Taste them and the dish you are adding them to. Two peppers, even from the same plant, can be radically different in heat; you’ll never know without tasting.

Semester Project Proposal

Food For Thought.

For the semester project I would like to create a food blog. This blog will be one entry per week with a new recipe that I learn. Being a full-time student with a part-time job budgeting is a concern of mine, so to the point, the unique challenge of my blog will be creating meals with only items that are on sale for the week,

Weekly Challenges

I will create a weekly secondary challenge in addition to the main challenge to keep the blog fresh interesting,  For instance having a calorie restricted meal one week and an all veggie meal the week after and so on.

Documenting

To document the challenge, pictures will be taken  from the beginning to end detailing the total cost of the meal and how successful the meal was. I will take pictures of the items on sale and find meals via the internet to correlate with the items on sale.

Overall 
The overall goal of website is to get the users to understand  that fast food is not the only way to live on a budget for a college student.

  One of my favorite sites to visit is google.com. I visit this site everyday at least 20 times a day for multiple reasons such as researching, playing games, using the google drive and on and on. I believe I've become google crazy. I have an android phone a google nexus 10 tablet, simply put I'm just a google enthusiast this is why Google.com is my favorite site to visit.
