Flow Chart

For my amazon.com how to buy a book flow chart I thought about the several times I had purchased something on amazon and thought back to how I went about it. Being someone I would consider computer savvy the steps weren't too hard to draw together. Starting with opening a web browser (i prefer firefox) and then entering in the URL www.amazon.com in and pressing enter to navigate to the page. Then simply input what you are searching for, click on the appropriate image. Then add to cart, enter shipping, and then payment info and lastly checkout and receive confirmation.

The google scholar one was very simlar as it also required opening of a web browser then navigating to the page. After it required searching through and eventually selecting the desired sources and compiling them onto a works cited page (at least for record) with the end being the finalization of your search query and end of using google scholar at least for the time being.

How to Map

When creating my "how to make a spaghetti dinner" I thought to myself all the steps that would be necessary while concurrently contemplating how I would illustrate it having myself not been a good artist in the past. In the beginning I chose to show the ingredients necessary to make it. Then I show the water boiling and putting the spaghetti in once boiling. Stirring it every so often and then straining once adequately cooked (i prefer al dente). Normally at home my parents heat up the sauce but at school I get too hungry and end up just tossing it in the microwave if necessary. I'm pretty proud of the circular motions I suggested for stirring and mixing things together tho.

Decision Tree

For the lawncare sketch I was completely unsure as to what I should do because of the seemingly excess variables. However upon voicing my concerns with fellow classmates they shared with me some valuable ideas and tips that I think led to my visual being better than it initially could have been. For hot weather I made the thermometers red and cold blue. For wet conditions i did water drops and dry i used brown crackling earth.

My only regret is that it gets sort of squished at the bottom which I thought I had properly accounted for unfortunately it was not so...other than that I am really proud of the finished product!
