Jared,
I like the way that your provided images to demonstrate what each of the items needed for working this project.
The images, though, also need to provide visual examples of the instructions or procedure which you are trying to get your user to complete. Usually seeing the text of the instructions is not enough; if we have a visual to do along with it which shows us what the text is saying then we are more liekly to understand.
Since your instructions are so intricate, you may choose providing an image for only one section of each step.
This would make your instructions much more usable.
Can you take pictures of yourself while you are doing this and then add those to the pages?
Jared,
Another thing to keep in mind is your text and how it appears on the page/screen.
As much as possible, chunk the text (separate into shorter sections) so that it doesn't become long. Choose to chunk where appropriate.
Also, use highlighting or color to emphasize important words or important sections in the text.
Hey Jared I'm going to comment on your instructions:
1. Is the task appropriate to the assignment?
I do think the task was appropriate for the assignment.
2. Is all necessary information included?
All necessary information was included.
3. Does the introduction successfully orient the reader to the task ahead?
Yes it does. It informs you of what is to lay ahead.
4. Are the major steps and sub-steps of the process clearly organized?
Yes they are. Everything is well organized.
5. Is each step or sub-step explained separately?
Yes they are. They are informative and detailed.
6. Is the audience addressed directly?
Yes it is.
7. Do the graphics and other visual cues of the document make the information more accessible?
Yes they do. They actually show what to look for.
8. Is the style clear, concise, and active?
Yes it is.
9. Are the instructions free from disconcerting mechanical errors, such as spelling and grammatical mistakes?
From what I noticed yes it is.
