To simplify the complex legal framework, the animation breaks down the concepts of acts and regulations illustrating their purpose and practical implications. Through clear visuals and concise explanations, learners will grasp the role of government oversight, the process of arranging inspections, and the required documentation for compliance.
For this animation, we adopted a straightforward and professional motion graphic style, balancing clean linework with government-branded colors to maintain clarity and accessibility. The instructional design focuses on icon-driven explanations, ensuring key legal concepts are easy to follow, even without narration.
By the end of this course, learners will have a thorough understanding of plumbing regulations in NSW, empowering them to uphold industry standards and operate with confidence in their trade.
