I used an iPhone camera, Photoshop, and Illustrator to take photos of my earbuds and hand and use them as reference for my final design. To make sketch 4 more clear (Ben thought it was confusing earlier), I made the hand more realistic and rotated it so that it was holding the earbuds right-side up. I tried to keep the orientation of the earbuds consistent throughout the piece, using the element of unity to remove distractions from the instructions. I also made the outlines for the hand thinner so that it would be less obtrusive and allow the viewer to focus on the earbuds, using the element of proportion to keep the viewer's attention on the earbuds. I chose a blue background for my piece in order to convey the message that my instructions were trustworthy, which uses the element of color. I then followed Lily's suggestion and added arrows and made the arrows orange, which uses the element of emphasis and variety to stand out against the blue background and draw the viewer's attention to the actions the instructions require them to do. I also shaped the arrows so it was clear which direction the instructions wanted the audience to wrap their earbud wires in.
