You’re up to your elbows in eggs and flour, the recipe’s calling for a quarter cup of corn starch, and all you can reach is a tablespoon. Such usefulness is the idea behind these flat, lightly magnetic vinyl kitchen measurement charts. Here’s how to transform a hard-to-read, clip-arty gimmick into a product that is attractive, easy to use, and stays in kitchens forever. This 19-page article from issue 41 of Before&After Magazine lets you watch as we redesign a gimmicky cooking measurement chart into a useful kitchen tool.
The magnet looks like it’s about cooking, but actually it’s about numbers. To make numbers reader-friendly, put them in columns, and spread them out.
