i will want to have images that will help make the point that i am talking about for example if i am talking about the steam library i will want to have the image that shows the library this will give visual aid to the page and i believe using this with information that will be on the page will make it so the information is clear and easy to take in

Introduction

what i want to do is make a steam user guide that will go through all of the basic features of steam and i want to make it so it will be easy to follow and navigate so even people who are not necessarily computer literate will still be able to use the features that steam offers

Media types 

There are different types of media that can be used in my steam user guide these include photographs videos graphics logo sound and animation these can be used in may ways that will affect the overall feel of the user guide i will want to use these media types in a way that will enhance the way the information is revived but in a way that does not make the guide harder to use this will make it so anyone computer literate or not will be able to use the guide with ease i believe that i will focus on photography for this user guide because it will make it simple and visual so the information will be easy to take in

photograph

i want to use photos in this user guide so it will be easy to follow and the information provided will have a visual aid with it i believe that this will make it so the information is easier to understand and the guide will be more attractive to the eye because of the images i think that this will improve the guide no mater the audience because anyone who views the image will view them in the same way and this helps because information can be read in different that's why i believe images will be good for this guide

video

i do not believe that i will have many videos but i believe that the videos that i do use will be crucial to the guide because i will want to have videos that will help explain points that will be difficult to illustrate with images or just walking someone through with the information

graphics

graphics will be handy to use because i will be able to put some information on the screen and make it so it is nice to the eye and still useful i want to use vector images so they are high quality and i will want to make sure that the background is transparent so i can use overlays that will look professional and will be neat and share the information that i want to show.

logo

the logo is a part of the company that will be most reconcilable because it is the face of the company what i will want to do is make sure the logo will be at the front of the guide and through the whole guide so you will be able to associate the guide with the product this will also help retain the information because when you are using the program you will subconsciously think about the guide

sound

sounds can be used in many ways but the way i will want to use it in two ways to help improve my guide i want to have voice over and

animation

animation can be used in different ways
