Information Diagrams: Diagrams

Diagrams


Diagrams are used to accurately and effectively depict a concept or a set of instructions. They are often characterised by images that combine accuracy with simplicity, often using black and white to avoid the confusion that could arise from delicate rendering, but colour can be used in colour coding to match certain elements. Often there are little or no written instructions to allow as many people as possible to understand the concept and to reduce reproduction costs.


Pen instructions
The instructions are clear and defined, and are universal due to the lack of language used, and there is no confusion created by colour. However, I'm not sure from this image exactly what the diagram is there to represent and so the communication is not strong enough and more information should be provided.
