Infographics' Step of the Day - Sanford Brands

A theme you’ll see repeated in many of our projects is simplicity. We believe that often—but not always—less is more, and so we are frequently tapped to develop clean, wordless instructions for our clients. In this case, Infographics® developed these wordless instructions for a folding desktop organizer developed by the folks at Sanford brands.

Infographics' Step of the Day - Wayne Dalton

Today’s sample is from the programming section of a whole-house wireless networking product from our friends at Wayne Dalton. The user guide we worked with them to develop explains what could be somewhat intimidating programming information in a sequential and visually based format – which helps to take much of the fear and voodoo out of the process for consumers.

Infographics' Step of the Day - Suncast Corporation

Today’s sample is an illustration we developed for Suncast to show how water pressure is used to automatically reel in a garden hose. The graphic was developed for their retail packaging. Numbered arrows help to explain to consumers how the mechanics work to make their life easier – A great way to demonstrate a true competitive advantage! More on this theme in future entries…

Infographics' Step of the Day - Plantronics

Today’s sample is a spread from a wireless headset user guide we developed for Plantronics. The sequence shows how to set up the charger base and make phone and power connections. In this case our goals were to show the process clearly to ensure connections are made properly (as this had consistently been a problem for users) and to minimize copy in order to reduce the need for translations.

Infographics' Step of the Day - Maytag

These steps were developed for a Natural to LP gas conversion guide for Maytag gas ranges. The guide is intended for professional installers and includes step illustrations that detail sub-sequence actions and part rotation with numbered arrows.

Infographics' Step of the Day - Oxo International

The use of arrows and numbers clearly demonstrate the technique for cubing/dicing fruits or vegetables with the Oxo V-Blade Mandoline Slicer. This product was named Editor's Pick in "Vegetarian Times" magazine. The article also made mention of the slicer's easy-to-use Quick Start Guide to Slicing.

Infographics' Step of the Day - InSinkErator

This is an ”INCLUDES BOX” we developed for InSinkErator’s new line of Evolution food waste disposers. It shows what’s included with the product and also what tools and materials are needed – installers can inventory parts and tools needed to get the job done!

Infographics' Step of the Day - Rubbermaid Commercial Products

In this example, the use of see-through hands demonstrate how to safely control the product's speed. Interface and function are clearly communicated in a few simple visual steps.

Call the experts when it comes to assembly instructions

For many people, the fun of taking furniture home when you buy it abruptly ends when it is time to piece it together, according to an article from the New York Times archives, Memo to Assemble-It-Yourselfers.

Note to RTA furniture manufacturers: Infographics offers valuable expertise when it comes to the development of assembly instructions and other post-purchase consumer communications.
