Write a 100- to 200-word short-answer response to the following:
Images can be an effective, and powerful, tool for educating an audience. Images help a reader visualize the solution, and see exactly what tasks they need to perform. Images can also help a reader avoid confusion, or misconstrue the intended outcome. However, images must clarify, and must reflect the purpose of the manual. It would make no sense to have only images of the required tools to install the faucet, rather than the faucet/process itself. This is why manuals must be clear, unambiguous and show the user a specific action.
Class: are there unhelpful ways/places in which to use images/illustrations in a manual? The articles articulated (very well!) the appropriate use and incorporation of images, but what are inappropriate ways in which to use images? Do you know of any examples of images that confused more than helped? Why?
