Layout and Flow

This flow chart shows what happens when authors don’t follow any type of standards for layout and flow. Problems include:

  1. Chart does not read from left to right
  2. Conflicting flows have been color coded, making it all but impossible to follow
  3. Overlapping lines make it hard to decipher

layout and flow problems

A simpler approach would have been to keep the flow left to right top to bottom and avoid overlapping links and lines wherever possible.
