Technical Illustration (4th edition)<\/h4>\n

with tools from Corel and illustrative and normative basics<\/p>\n

Technical illustrations are the means of communicating facts in a technologized and globalized environment. This is a complex task that requires extensive knowledge of visual communication. Corel DESIGNER and CorelDRAW provide tools to efficiently perform this task on an industrial scale. The book \u201cTechnical Illustration\u201d provides the illustrative and normative basics as well as their implementation with Corel tools.<\/p>\n

Connecting instead of separating<\/h4>\n

Safety symbols according to ISO or ANSI are established in technical communication. However, not all symbols are immediately understandable. Is it better for technical editors to do without them? Or is a compromise the better choice?<\/p>\n

Who listens to safety instructions anyway?<\/h4>\n

We humans act far less rationally than we like to think. As technical writers, we need to speak to the instinctive, emotional side of our readers.\u00a0Here is what we can learn from behavioral economics.<\/p>\n

Just give it a nudge<\/h4>\n

Behind nudging is a concept for influencing a person’s behavior, using gentle pressure rather than a raised forefinger. Technical writers can take advantage of this concept to guide the proper use of technology.<\/p>\n

And it has clicked<\/h4>\n

What “Zack”, “Zisch” or “Peng” stands for doesn’t need to be explained to anyone. It’s enough to read a comic. But there’s more to a comic than pure entertainment, such as an information model with parallels to technical communication.<\/p>\n
