Quick Tips:

 

  • Date your folio entries.

  • Write page numbers on your folio pages.

  • Create your visual folio to demonstrate the sequence of process.

 

  • Evidence your process for authenticity, by taking photos.

3. Number your pages, and refer back to previous ideas that you are building on further.

4. Use a lot of art terminology. Highlight or underline key points. 

5. Work towards your potential directions by showing layout ideas and discussing how the potential directions refer to concepts and aesthetics outlined in your E.P.
