''Do the instructions make sense? Are they clear and easy to follow? ''

'''I feel that anyone could take these instructions and register for the website. '''

''

''

<p class="MsoNormal">''How do the technical instructions meet the 5 Principles of Design? ''

<p class="MsoNormal">''Balance (Is the document balanced from left to right, top to bottom?): ''

<p class="MsoNormal">'''The balance is a little off with the second image. If there was more text to the side of the second image the balance would be okay. '''

<p class="MsoNormal">''

''

<p class="MsoNormal">''Alignment (Are the words and images aligned to show document’s structure?): ''

<p class="MsoNormal">'''The first two pictures are aligned correctly the third one is offset to the right and looks kinds funky. '''

<p class="MsoNormal">''

''

<p class="MsoNormal">''Grouping (Are related images and words are placed near each other on the page?): ''

<p class="MsoNormal">'''Yes, all of the images you use are talked about in the text immediately preceding them. '''

''

<p class="MsoNormal">''Consistency (Are design features used consistently?): ''

<p class="MsoNormal">'''The first and third images are lined up under the text, while the second image is set next to the text it is mentioned in. If the images where separated with more text, so the two different styles weren’t right next to each other, the difference in style would be okay. '''

<p class="MsoNormal">''

''

<p class="MsoNormal">''Contrast (Is there enough difference between different aspects of the instructions?): ''

<p class="MsoNormal">''' Yes, I especially like the black outline used around the images. It really separates the images from the white page so it doesn’t seem so blank. '''
