How to use a phone

To follow on from our visual literacy discussions of the relation between images and words we were asked to create a series of images which instruct a person how to perform a simple task.

As you can see, my group picked "how to use a phone"
The steps we used were;
1. A portrayal of a phone,
2. Lifting the handset to your head,
3. Dialling the number,
4. The receiving phone ringing,
5. The recipitant talking to the caller.

We later realised that we missed a lot of basic steps out and someone that has never heard of a phone before probably wouldn't be able to use one even after looking at our step by step instructions.

We missed out simple steps such as plugging the phone in to the socket and receiving phone numbers to call.
