Key Features and Description

In this Play with Design project, I created an infographic to teach my parents how to use WhatsApp. Here, I had to carefully consider the affordances of different programs and select one that would best suit my needs (teaching my technology-illiterate parents how to use this application).
I had considered other options such as a video, or creating a website, but eventually decided that a static image, such as my infographic, would deliver my message best. Complicated designs, such as websites, or a video where they have to manoeuvre their mouse to play and pause, would prevent them learning how to use WhatsApp. In contrast, an infographic, one they could print out and refer to, was much more effective.
This infographic was created using Photopea and hosted on piktochart. The use of images, minimal text, and bright colours helped make the guide easy to follow.
