Infographics Step of the Day - Rubbermaid Commercial Products

After a brief summer hiatus we’re back with more step-of-the-day samples. Today’s topic is PEOPLE. Often those developing assembly and usage instructions are content to show products, parts and components, but frequently they leave out the most important part of all – the user… One thing we strive to keep in front of us at all times is the user - as in today’s sample. Showing users how adjust a product to fit them properly can be a challenge. Often an illustrated example is the best solution – offering a clear view of how to fit and adjust the product without adding unnecessary information or distractions.

Infographics Step of the Day - Britax

A seemingly universal instructional challenge is child safety car seats. In fact, a study several years ago found that nearly 80% of infant safety seats are improperly installed because people can’t understand the instructions. And that leads us to today’s step, which was developed for our friends at Britax. In this case we employ clean visuals, arrows and simple steps to walk users through a replacement sequence.
