JUST DOUGH IT!

DAY 1 and 2

We had to choose an food item which is supposed to be made out of dough.

The item that was selected by me are the COOKIES.

On the very first day

we were asked to cook the selected food item and select any 1-3 elements of the recipe and start variating. The elements we had work with were the ingredients, their proportion, the cooking technique, temperature, size / thickness / consistency, forms, etc.

INGREDIENTS used for making cookies

- 2 teacups white floor ( maida)

- 4-5 tablespoon sugar ( as per requirement)

- 5-6 tablespoon milk

- butter

- cocoa powder ( if needed)

- vanilla essence

PROCESS:

Preheat the oven for 10 min

Firstly, mix maida , sugar, coca powder together.

then, add wet ingredients like milk , melted butter and mix them until it it becomes a proper dough. later, add vanilla essence.

Slice it into different shapes and sizes as per your requirements.

bake it in oven for at least 18 minutes.

EXPERIMENTS

- I TRIED MAKING THE DOUGH WITH WHEAT, FLOOR AND OATS.

- LATER I ADDED HONEY INSTEAD OF SUGAR.

- AFTER DOING SO I CUT THEM INTO DIFFERENT DESIGNS .

DAY 3/4

Today was basically based on our experiments and findings from the previous day, we also had to innovate with the form and taste of the food item by changing the ingredient or cooking technique or process.

I experimented with the shape . Instead of adding white flour i.e. (maida), I used wheat.

EXPERIMENTS:

- today i experimented frying the dough, but the outcome was not that good.

these are the fried cookies that i tried. for the taste i added jam on the top.

REFLECTION.

Introduction.

LEARNINGS;

PROPORTION is one of the easier design principles to understand. Simply put, it’s the size of elements in relation to one another. It is very important in terms of design because Proportion is said to be harmonious when a correct relationship exists between the elements with respect to size or quantity.

Good proportion adds harmony, symmetry, or balance among the parts of a design.

COLOR -Color psychology is the study of hues as a determinant of human behavior. it influences perceptions that are not obvious, such as the taste of food. The effect of color can differ from person to person.Each color has a specific meaning and should be used accordingly. People react to a specific color according to their experiences in the past. They relate to a color with an object that they see more often .

FORM - The forms create psychological impact on the people who use it. The people may be frustrated and get tired if the forms are not designed properly.The badly designed forms results in more number of mistakes in clerical work. Hence, there is a need of well-designed forms to avoid mistakes in clerical work.The well-designed forms contribute much to the efficiency of work .
