Instructions Memo - Coursework Example

To You From Re Strengths, weaknesses and recommendations of an online instruction February 27, The online instruction for beginning digital painting is quite comprehensive. It started with a demonstration and then the materials needed such as graphic tablet to do the digital painting which allows its audience to follow the instruction from scratch. For strength of the instruction, the organization is reader friendly as it showed an illustration on where to begin with including the written instruction.

The basic tools had an image in the left corner of the screen such as tool properties and color picker and also on how to set up the digital painting. The images that were shown were the actual graphic tablets to be used in digital painting and diagrams that were shown were the actual image of photoshop. The vocabularies were also audience friendly because it explained the jargons in the instruction such as what the definition of Pan.The online instruction however is not consistent of showing what to do in the navigation drill portion.

It only showed the drill but it fell short of showing the instruction as well as the illustration just like what it did in the previous portions.It is recommended that the online instruction should also include the illustration as well as the instruction just like in the first two sections. Giving a navigation drill without instruction and illustration is pointless because the audience would not know what to do.The original instruction that needs improvementHomework: Basic Navigation drill1.
