# Graphic Cooking Instructions Martijn Boskamp's 'How to Cook Eggs' Uses a Folding 3D Model By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2009-08-23 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/martijn-boskamp-how-to-cook-eggs References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/How-to-cook-eggs/289848) & [martijnboskamp](http://www.martijnboskamp.com/) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frozen-omelettes) uses a fun papercraft diagram of eggs, indicating where to crack the eggs and how to [fry them in a pan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookclock). We've seen a number of [funny graphic illustrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/borden-grilled-cheese-swatch-book) that are meant to inform but are far more entertaining than educational. Check out some of my favorite such features below. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Interactive Cooking Instructions:** There is an opportunity to leverage interactive 3D models like Martijn Boskamp's papercraft diagram as a way to provide a more engaging and effective method of teaching people how to cook. - **Visual Learning:** As people continue to prefer graphic-based learning materials, there is potential for more visual-based instructional content in various industries beyond cooking, such as fitness or technical training. - **Gamification of Education:** With the success of games like 'Cooking Mama', there is a disruptive opportunity to gamify cooking education, creating more interactive and enjoyable experiences for learners. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** This industry can potentially leverage graphic cooking instructions to create engaging and interactive recipes that could appeal to a wider audience while teaching them how to cook. - **Education and Training:** Various industries could use interactive 3D models and visual-based instructional content like Martijn Boskamp's 'How to Cook Eggs' to create more engaging education and training materials. - **Gaming:** The success of games likes 'Cooking Mama' shows there is an opportunity to disrupt the gaming industry by creating more gamified educational games that teach people real-world skills like cooking. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Viral Egg Tasting Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egg-flights.md) - [User-Friendly Egg Cookers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eggbath.md) - [Fried Egg-Inspired Canopy Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunny-side-up-extension.md) - [Scrambled Egg Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instant-scrambled-eggs.md) - [Microwavable Vegan Eggs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-egg-egg.md) - [Convenient Scrambled Egg Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-crack-an-egg-1.md) - [Minimalist Experimental Egg Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/experimental-egg-racks.md) - [Breakfast-Inspired Easter Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-egg-easter.md) - [Grated Egg Toasts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grated-egg-toast.md)
