I still need to write the assembly instructions for my tiny #robot project Wee Bug (and Moo Bug). Last time I tried IKEA-style instructions, and people struggled. I'm thinking about doing it as a comic book this time around, what do you think?
@deshipu Looks great, but it also looks like a lot of work to do the entire instructions that way. The comic style is attractive, but I’m not sure it has much influence on the clarity of the instructions in a positive or negative way. I wonder if there’s any way you could test this on real users before putting in all the work?
@isziaui Work is not a problem, since I'm doing it for pleasure. I hope that the comic book form and the characters and plot might help people actually care about the instructions and read them more carefully. The problem I had with the IKEA-style instructions is that people would skip over them, or not notice all the details that were important.
