Concept project exploring clear, concise, and user-centered instructional design.

Overview:  Self-initiated concept project exploring the design of a compact, multilingual Instructions for Use (IFU) for a consumer electronics product.

Context:  This project was inspired by real-world constraints encountered while designing IFUs for regulated medical devices, including limited space, strict hierarchy requirements, and clarity at small print sizes.

Goals:  

– Create a clear and intuitive information hierarchy.  

– Design for legibility and usability at small scale.

– Use iconography to support quick comprehension

– Explore an efficient accordion-fold format

Process: The layout was developed through iterative testing of content density, typography, and folding structure. Multiple printed mockups were produced to evaluate scale, fold sequence, and overall usability.

Outcome:  The final concept demonstrates a practical, user-centered approach to instructional design while maintaining a clean, brand-appropriate visual system.

Tools:  InDesign, Illustrator

Notes:  This is a conceptual project and was not created for a real client or product.

Below are printed mockups used to evaluate layout, scale, and folding.
