[LIVE BRIEF] Presentation choices

The design process is really slow as it is very challenging. There are a lot of questions popping out in my mind when drawing. 

Which rice should I use? Is this too complicated? Is this able to show the texture? 


How do I draw a loaf of bread? a toast maybe? Or a croissant? Would it be too western? What about a baguette? When drawing the bread, I realised a really big problem. My boss pointed out that it is very hard for students to visualise 3D graphics, graphics with dimensions. I paused and realised that most of my drawings are with dimensions. Even the loaf of bread has dimension in it and it would be really confusing for users to understand. 


When it comes to milk, I drew a normal cup with wavy lines in it to represent milk. However, why would they know it is actually milk? How do they distinguish between milk and water? Is a cup best to describe milk? What do we first think of when we see the word milk? A carton? or a bottle? 

This design process is far more complicated than I have expected. I didn't realise that all these simple things are t hat hard to draw out when it comes to people who can't see. What I draw can directly affect their sense of association and my design choices are very crucial as these are what they use to learn and build their cognitive thinking.
