1 – 2 – Callout! Graphic Labeling Made Easy

With technical documentation, one thing is pretty much a certainty: lots of pictures. After all, you have to show again and again which product component is where, in which position you need to put your hand, and what you have to do. Unlike many other texts (e.g., marketing), the illustrations in technical documentation therefore usually need one or more labels, leaving graphics with many guide lines often look like a spiky hedgehog. However, these labels can cause quite a bit of trouble in day-to-day editing. If you want to save yourself this hassle, callout graphics are the answer.
