For this reading we were given instructional info-graphics for various tasks. Right away I was excited about the bicycle diagram because I used to work at a bicycle shop and having a visual aide like so would have helped immensely. People don’t realize the havock they’re wreaking on their body when their body isn’t positioned correctly on the bike. With that being said this graphic seems incomplete. There is no explanation as to why and how someone is able to position him or herself onto a bike as depicted. The seat, seat-post, bike frame, handlebars, and stem all adjust in order to achieve the end result as depicted in the diagram.
The third diagram that depicts rolling a “cigarette”, I presume, utilizes red arrows in order to imply movement. In step two and three the arrows signal rolling the paper to the viewer and in step four using one’s tongue to seal the paper. Arrows implying movement are also used in the fourth and fifth diagrams. The fifth diagram is somewhat humorous I suppose since the depicted participant must have ditch the old tire on the side of the road or it completely vanishes when the new one appears…which would be amazing if that actually happened in real life. I don’t think I really wanted to like the flat tire diagram since I hate changing car tires but by breaking apart the individual tasks and tools needed to finish the task, it is well executed.
