This instruction set is a good representation of the four design principles. There is much repetition in the text when it is formatted in similar manners throughout the instruction set. The tables with steps and images are repeated several times as well. The instructions create a contrast between the sets of images and the text, which takes up the bulk of the document. Some photos are offered in color which creates a contrast from the plain black and white images and text. There isn't much wasted space in this document and all images and text are in very close proximity to one another to ensure that the reader fully understands exactly what they should be looking at. The grouping of these items does seem to make sense and additionally helps guide the reader through it. All of the text is aligned to the left, which works well here. The bulleted lists line up with most of the text and create a sense of balance. Overall, it is a well put together set of instructions.
