Format

Host-led cartoon

A cartoon host shows what to do, step by step, on a coloured stage: each step is a picture card, an arrow leads to the next one, and the host points at each card the moment it is said.

Document: Wikipedia: Hand washing. Kind: steps and rules; Host-led cartoon suits this kind. In the showcase video the Zıpır team chose the format.

Host-led cartoon across the eight document kinds

It suits 1 kind; for the other 7, another format works better. The sentence on a row that does not suit is the note the panel shows on that document.

  1. Steps and rules — suits

    ordered steps, a recipe, usage instructions, a workplace safety rule, a statute article saying who must do what.

  2. Concepts and processes — does not suit

    “This document explains a concept; Host-led cartoon works better on documents that tell anyone what to do, step by step (first aid, safety, an application, a how-to). You can still continue.”
