Reference List Negative space (white space), correct and appropriate grammar and spelling and the use of formatting, such as color, headings and subheadings, will all be employed to enhance the manual design and effectiveness.
Post your response to the following: Visual elements can be added to many types of written documents. What kinds of visual elements will you want to include in the user manual you are creating for your final project? Explain your answer. I would like to use more visual elements in my final document than length requirements will allow, so I will have to choose which elements are the most salient for this project. I believe that device images (photos) on the cover page and device images and parts images in the accessory section will be useful. I also think hat photos should be used in the instructions steps so that connections can be depicted clearly. These photos will be small and next to the step-by-step text to give the user a good idea of the physical set up without being cumbersome in the document design. The photos and other graphics I have chosen seem to be appropriate for this manual. I would like some assistance in learning how to scale a photo without loss of clarity in the image.
