The previous instructions would be based on people who may not be confident in styling hair.
This set of instructions would be for people who are confident in doing different hairstyles, and may even want to touch up on their french-braiding skills.
Purpose: To educate people interested in french braiding how to do more elaborate braids.
Audience: People who already know other hairstyles, or know how to french-braid.
Context: Any time/occasion, home or hair salon.
Strategies: Using a more advanced type of braid and terminology that may be more apparent to those experienced with braiding.
Medium: Same as previous instructions. Sequentially ordered instructions with clear and consise photos beside each step, demonstrating the steps visually.
Arrangement: Same as previous instructions. Title, numerical/sequentially ordered steps with coordinating photographs.
Testing: The usability test in this situation should prove that the experienced hair stylists or those experienced with braiding should have an easier time getting through the instructions, and be able to learn a more advanced braid.
1 - This set was obviously
1 - This set was obviously made second, as the only things written down were the changes from the first set. Because the first set was so thorough, this set could be small. However, the most thorough of the elements again was Purpose.
2 - Context was the shortest element on this set.
3 - Considering it follows the formula of the first set, this instruction set will be just as successful.
4 - This instruction set was changed for the more advanced hairstylist, if it were changed it would only reduce the complexity of the instructions.
feedback
1. There really was not much written in great detail on this instruction set. I know it is for more experiences hairstylists, but it still needs to have information otherwise people do not know what is going to be given. It assumes people have read the novice hair braider instruction set.
2. There is not much to say about what has the least amount of detail because not much of it had detail.
3. It does connect with the goal it just is not very clear as to exactly what you are doing.
4. If the audience were switched, then I am positive that the novice hair braiders would have no idea what they were going to do. I think the video is a great idea for things like this because it helps people visualize what they are trying to complete.
