SOME ADVICE Lay the folio out carefully. Make the text easy to read. Use a highlighter to highlight important text (eg references to specification). Don’t use hackneyed phrases like ‘modern look’ and ‘sharp edges’. Don’t use colloquial terms such as ‘sturdy’. Use other research material if you can. If you use anthropometric data, use it correctly.
