Hey, Just trying to make some infographics around Huel and the different recipes. I thought I would start by how to combo the FS with diff Huel Flavours.
Feedback is very much appreciated. What FS+ Huel Combo is your favourite?

You need a key to state what the small and large circles mean but if my assumption is correct youāre saying original + cacao FS doesnāt work as a combo. I donāt use the FS but I do use actual cacao and it works brilliantly with original.
I think heās saying small circle = add a small amount, large circle = add a normal amount
Or maybe small circle = works a bit, large circle = works really well, no circle = doesnāt work
Interesting that you havenāt included New Vanilla
Personally I think that the only things that work in new vanilla are instant coffee and mint-choc boost
All the flavour boosts work well if using a combo of original and UU
As for cacaoā¦ we all know that I add that to everything and anything. Itās the best boost ever.

I was just going round in circles trying to work it out.

Good spot. I hadnāt seen no circle. So yeah, it definitely needs a key.

Ha, I suspect a little bias hereā¦
Ok, so it is not as intuitive as I thought.
Nothing is NO go
Small Circle is somewhat
Big is winner
I mostly agree on that, but toffee and caramel on its own areā¦ meh, in my opinion and work better with cacao based or vanilla base.
I think I do, after causing so much confusion on experienced Huelers.
Noted.
I think I need to go back to the drawing board. I have an idea for a different approach almost finished. Iāll see if thatās more appealing.

These are great! Of course you could include Vanilla and Banana powders on the flavour chart. I thought the flavour chart was pretty intuitive already, but you could use different icons like a tick and a starā¦ and consider using fewer of the āhighlightsā, i.e. majority small circles but pick a couple of firm favourites.
Iām sure youāll agree itās pretty subjective at the moment, but google forms is an easy and free way to make a survey and Iām sure thereās plenty of people who would fill it out here if you want to collect some data

Mm, yes you are right. The google forms suggestion is great. Otherwise one of those polls Christina so much loves.
Currently is very biased indeed.
Love the infographic- it looks great. I was thinking it would work well as an app where you could have āmeal sectionsā like your Low calorie snacks or Power lunches and then drag them into a planner to build your Huel Day. Iād have no idea how you go about building something like that but would be a great combination of planner and new mixture inspiration.
Two tiny amendments - Iād suggest Shaken or Shaker rather than Shaked. Plus in the post workout should that be one scoop of protein powder rather than one vanilla of protein?
Yep, absolutely.
This is cool. I agree that āshakenā is better than āshakedā.
What does the H in the right hand column mean?
Hippopotamusā¦if you prefer a non-Huel version
But thereās no indication of which colour code corresponds to which subspecies of hippopotamus. Itās not very useful for choosing flavours. I do know that every hippoās arsehole is a perfect match for berry Huel.

Was thinking of making the Chocolate Based day in honor of 
Mm, Yup, good suggestion.
It was the initial iteration, but I thought it lacked specification. At the end of the day, you are right could be almost any flavoured protein. I thought for going double vanilla.
Thatās a great idea. I wish I had the IT skills for thatā¦
Confirmed.
Hippopotamus Original, Hippopotamus Berry, Hippopotamus CHocolate, Hippopotamus U&U, Hippopotamus Vanilla depending the colour. I was going to add a legend perhaps at the bottom, but I am not great at using the space.

I think @David is the legend when discussing hippopotamus bottom (or arsehole in particular). I shall in future refer to them as hippobottomarse. I have emailed my pal Dave Attenbro to suggest he does the same on the next Blue Planet series. I think the āfuck off mateā reply he sent indicated he is up for it.

I think itās a good starting point! Some concerns I have:
- make it more obvious that this isnāt official, maybe with a small disclaimer
- I feel like thereās a lack of structure, the key on the top left feels like itās falling apart, maybe confine it in a box. Iād also move it to the right side, as the icons it contains are there too. The font used for the calorie count feels a bit too heavy in comparison to the rest of the text. The ākcalā label is way too prominent in my opinion, as it can be assumed. The nutritional info looks a lot like the recipe, maybe do something to differentiate it more (then you could also get rid of the black lines)? I also feel like the preparation method (blended/shaken) should be separate from the other info and more prominent.
- The icons donāt match, consider making them more uniform
- The color-coded Hās are a bit problematic at the moment. First off, they donāt add any value for colorblind people. Second, I think they could cause confusion along with the smaller Hās. There are quite a lot of color schemes going on in general: Huel powder, Flavor boost and menu item.
- the recipe section in general could use some work, I feel you could get good results by combining the icons more intimately with the text. Maybe have the Huel flavor text - or better yet - the recipe name color coded by the Huel flavor used, that way you wouldnāt need the Hās. Then a separate section for the main ingredients (fruits, coffee, milk, etc) and finally the āspicesā (Flavor boosts, pepper, parmesan, etc.). This would also provide a sense of proportion, as currently one could assume the soup for example has a lot of cheese in it, while in reality itās mostly carrot.
Anyway, keep up the good work! Iām way better at critique than complement, so donāt take this the wrong way

Thank you so much for the feedback. very thorough and appreciated. Many of which show that I am no expert on infographics and I kind of suck at design (I donāt have a natural knack for color matching etc).
I think your points are very valid, so I will try to work around them.
