Creatively Phone App Manual
Highlighting features and troubleshooting for new users
Creatively is a free job platform for creative professionals that offers portfolio tools, networking features, and access to job postings from notable brands. This project was done for my Professional and Technical Writing class. I led a team of five students to create the app manual, design a website of the manual, and delivered a presentation to a panel of four technical writers.
The team and I met in-person and held Zoom meetings. First, we assigned roles. I chose to design the app manual based on Creatively’s brand colors and website style. I made the cover, table of contents, manual overview, and product overview sections. Then, I copyedited and proofread colleagues’ work for clarity. We performed a user test and noted feedback from classmates. Next, I formatted the document by maintaining text and visual balance. Lastly, I designed the website on WordPress and presentation on Canva.
Our presentation to a panel of four technical writers went by smoothly. They provided helpful, constructive feedback on wording consistency. I implemented corrections not long afterward. Overall, it was a positive experience and would love to create more user manuals.
