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.

Infographics Step of the Day - Medical Equipment




Today’s steps are from a training animation we developed for a client who manufactures complex medical MRI imaging equipment. The animation is part of ongoing maintenance and repair training which helps to reduce equipment downtime. The steps show how to reassemble two key components of the system – by showing the relationship of the components in space and making the front component transparent, we were able to show specifically how to align and fit the two parts together which is crucial to successfully replacing the part.

Infographics' Step of the Day - Plumbing


Today’s step is a nice example of how using a side - or alternate - view can greatly improve understanding of information that may be crucial to a successful installation.

Helping installers anticipate potential complications BEFORE they become a problem can significantly reduce support requirements, product returns and warranty claims!

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.

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.
