    Simplify!

    You can make it WAY more simple! :) This is much too complicated, you don't need all the shadows and details. The instruction should be understandable without reading the text, and now it's not :)

    Draw it using very basic geometric figures, circles and squares. No shadows, only black and white. If it's good that way, then maybe you can add some details - but not that many!

    Also, I think that the text can be shorter and more clear. Again, simplify. No need for that many sizes, bullets, colours, underlines, titles. Increase spacing between letters, because now they are too crowded.

    Nice examples:
