Installation Instructions & Visual Systems for GPI Gutter Products

50 technical illustrations · Multiple installation configurations · Vector-based graphics

Making product installation easier to understand

What began as a series of step-by-step illustrations for installing gutter protection components grew into a visual library of 50 technical illustrations for GPI Gutter Products.

The graphics covered different products, configurations, and installation procedures, providing consistent visual references for manuals and instructional videos.

The Challenge

Installing gutter protection systems involves different components, roof and gutter configurations, and procedures that must be communicated precisely.

Photographs and videos can show the installation process, but technical illustrations make it possible to isolate components, remove visual distractions, and emphasize exactly what installers need to see.

The challenge was to explain these variations clearly from the perspective of an experienced installer, highlighting the components, positions, and details relevant to each procedure while maintaining visual consistency across the entire collection.

The Approach

I developed a series of vector illustrations showing components, installation sequences, and configurations from carefully selected viewpoints.

A consistent visual language helped installers identify parts, understand their position, and follow each procedure.

The illustrations covered micro-mesh panels, end caps, straight and angled corners, overlapping sections, and different mounting configurations.

Working with reusable vector graphics also made it possible to adapt the visual material to different instructional applications.

The Outcome

The project resulted in 50 technical illustrations developed across multiple installation scenarios, supporting GPI's product documentation and instructional content.

Clear installation graphics help installers understand products while giving manufacturers a consistent way to communicate their procedures.
