Format

Pictogram

Every habit or rule becomes a two-ink poster: when its key words are spoken, the roller prints the pictogram and the words in giant type, and the finished poster is pegged on a line.

Document: Wikipedia: Hand washing; Wikipedia, "Hand washing" (rev 1374841767); the product's writer chose the scenes, narrated in the Ada and Theo and Cole voices. Kind: steps and rules; Pictogram suits this kind. In the showcase video the Zıpır team chose the format.

Pictogram 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.
