Advice on guide making

Hello all! With the new variant dungeon coming up, I've already started setting up the base for my guide and I was hoping to get some feedback regarding my previous trash guides.

I understand some people do not like or care for this style or it would not work for them. I also understand that these might seem trashy to some and that's okay, I actively call all my guides "trash guides" but would still like to improve them haha

1). How do they look visually? (pls remember the improvement overtime T_T)
- Light or Dark theme
- Colors choices
- Would vertical be better than horizontal?
2). Are they clear and easily readable/understandable?
- I fully plan to make the next one uniform in shape sizes and font size
3). What more would people like to see?
4). Is there anything I should remove?
5). Is there anything you likes in one but not in another?

Any other suggestions and feedback would be appreciated!


My thoughts:

- The first guide I made (Sil'dah) was hastily thrown together to help me navigate the different paths and how they change based on choices you make. I shared it here on reddit hoping what helped me would help others.
- The second guide (light grey Rokkon) felt like a direct improvement from the first. I played with adding rewards and photos to help clarify some trickier spots and mechanics that are easy to miss or mess up. I think this one looks the best visually (not the flowchart).
- The third guide (Aloalo) I made in a dark mode because I was tired of being flashbanged at 4am while I was making it. I think the background on this one was the best and had the best flowchart style, at least from a macro view.

The photos in order were my guides for The Sil'dihn Subterrane -> Mount Rokkon -> Aloalo. Quality may be crunchy rn because this is like 5th download/redownload through reddit and discord because I've reformatted my pc and haven't transferred the originals back over from my external HD.
(New reddit account because reddit decided to shadow ban my last one for "technical irregularities")
