Some individuals prefer to learn with graphics rather than worded instructions; Martijn Boskamp's 'How to Cook Eggs' is perfect for those design-minded folk. This breakfast primer uses a fun papercraft diagram of eggs, indicating where to crack the eggs and how to fry them in a pan.
We've seen a number of funny graphic illustrations that are meant to inform but are far more entertaining than educational. Check out some of my favorite such features below.
