Electric Vehicle Charger Installation Guides

Designed a series of instructional guides for installing electric vehicle charging systems
Team: Bally Design; industrial and graphic designers (2-5 people total at various points in the project)
Timeline: five weeks per booklet; six booklets

We received basic text instructions from the client, a multinational power equipment manufacturer. Our task was to validate the directions and add value by streamlining step flows, producing vector illustrations and organizing the content into a cohesive, branded document. As an industrial designer, I focused specifically on the validation and illustration component.

Validation Process

Discussed actions users would take based on initial instructions from client

Examined CAD data supplied by client to validate parts list and construction

Explored actual products in studio (when possible) to identify discrepancies

Illustration Creation

Reviewed assets from client including 3D CAD files and physical product

Digitally sketched over screenshots to validate illustration intent with client

Extracted linework from CAD to create vector illustrations for final prints

Each booklet was around sixteen printed pages. Some were full color, most were grayscale. With each successive project, the client expressed enthusiasm and a desire to continue working with us to create the next booklet  in the series.
