Book research: The art of
instructional design by Mijksenaar, P.
and Westendorp,
P.
I found this book in the library. it was just one book about instructional design.
I used this book for looking other examples of visual instruction and basic role of instructional design.
One of important thing in instructional design is readability.
Because the purpose of instruction is giving information.
so it has to be informative and clear. People do not want to spend a long time on reading instruction.
Therefore, visual instruction used to describe a concise expression and key point.
I needed that how other artists make instructions.

From this book, I looked various instruction styles.
Illustration usually used a simple bold outline and primary colours like red, yellow and blue.
There were strong illustrated instructions as well.
Among many examples, I found an interesting visual effect. As I did research about Roy Linchtenstein, I already interested in a coloured pattern in the shapes. Dot pattern usually has used when the colours used too much in the instructions. or when it comes to overlapping the area, dot pattern are used. I would like to add this kind of pattern in my instruction.
It shows that don't have the same style, do it with own style. I want to focus on illustration more than normal instruction design.

Even though I don't make informative instruction, I should study the basic styles of instruction.
Because I have no doubts that it will be helpful my project in any way.
It was great chance to look at design examples and study more about instructional design. Also, It helps to look at layout styles.
