As i’m not very good at DIY I’ve chosen to do a basic task that i do on a regular basis and since moving will be doing a lot more. How to hang wall displays without damaging the wall with a nail etc. using command strips.
First i needed to decide on layout, traditionally instructions are white background and simple text which i do want but i also want this to look visually aesthetic too. So i decided on the below font and page layout with 6 steps to hanging up wall decorations damage free. The text is nice and thin but easy to read alongside a mint green background with white squares clearly displaying each step.
The trouble I’ve always found with DIY instructions is that there is often too much information and it’s difficult to understand where you are supposed to be in the steps and what equipment you need. To go on the back of the command strip packets this needs to be simple, small and easy.
So above is my completed design with added drawings of the instructions i have done in adobe illustrator taken from the website explaining how to carry out this task.
