The concept:

The final outcome of my quick-start guide actually ended up being nothing like any of my thumbnails. It wasn't that I didn't like them, far from it, it was just that when I began designing the final product my mind just went in a different direction.


I really, really liked the end result. It was simple, black and white, and left almost no room for error. It was a little more wordy than I would have preferred but it was hard not too when my goal was to explain a game to them. I did not want to leave the user guessing.


Some of the new images I used were these: 


I was lucky I didn't have to go with/through too many images. The bottom three are pretty self-explanatory; they're pictures of rock, paper and scissors; the basic components of the game.

The top one however is a picture of Confucius. Now rock, paper, scissors was neither invented nor has anything to do with this Philosopher. However, I wanted to put him in their because he is an easily recognizable Chinese figure and many of the people around during the invention of the game do not have pictures. 

All I did was put these images together with a suitable font and the rest kind of sorted itself out.
