Instructions

1. The language of the instructions is Spanish. There were two sets of instructions included in the package and I brought the one written in Spanish. Both are the same however. The purpose of the instructions is to show how to operate a portable DVD player.

2. The design of the instructions, guide the reader to go in order. It makes you go in order. The organization of the instructions is good. Everything seems to go in order.

3. I would say that compared to other examples and instructions that there is too much information in each step.

4. The instruction includes complete sentences. This creates a sense of order.

5. Graphics are used and they show exactly how things will appear on the DVD player. There is a picture for each step, which is clear and related to the topic.

6. The basic structure used for this particular manual is good. It has all of the appropriate titles, which lets the readers know when to move on. It also does a good job of using bold and big font. This helps to show when an important step is being used. It includes the safety measures and trouble shooting in case something goes wrong. Overall, the structure is very good. The only suggestion would be to have it spread out more so it won’t be so congested.
