A review of literacy materials in Nepal concludes that materials have "unnecessary elaboration with little visual content". The findings of Unicef's 1988 study are summarised as guidelines for producing more effective materials. The twelve points include: motion, movement line, crosses and arrows are not understood by the audience and full figure three tone with single message are widely understood even by people with low visual literacy. The process of developing visual materials is briefly outlined, as the basis for a planned workshop on literacy illustrations.
