4. Choose a topic from your major, or an area of interest. Using the general outline in this chapter as a model, prepare instructions for a task that requires at least three major steps. Address a general audience, and begin by completing an audience and use profile. Include

(a) all necessary visuals, or,

(b) an "art brief" (pages 272-73) and a rough diagram for each visual, or

(c) a "reference visual" (a copy of a visual published elsewhere)

with instructions for adapting your visual from that one. (If you borrow visuals from other sources, provide full documentation.)
