Instructional capture art should encode context, target, and framing

General lesson: Instructional artwork for mobile evidence capture should encode three things at a glance: context (where the target lives), target emphasis (what exact object or marking matters), and framing (how much belongs in view). A generic object icon often fails even when its label is correct. Use task-specific compositions: context plus magnified target for VIN/plate/seal, whole-subject brackets for vehicles/documents, and interaction cues rather than camera cues for liveness or spoken recording. Keep callouts cautious when placement varies, and never make a positioning guide look like a guaranteed decode boundary or a live quality detector.

Applicability and limits: This helps camera/scanner guidance in constrained mobile flows. It does not define validation policy, prove capture quality, or justify adding evidence requirements.

Applies when: A mobile evidence form uses illustrations to help users capture documents, markings, vehicles, or interactive identity steps. Keywords: mobile capture guidance instructional illustration VIN CDL barcode liveness framing
