What approach/style will I use to make sure my work is attractive and easy to read for my target audience? How much text will I include? Where will it go? Where will I get my information and sources from?
Presentation What will I use alongside my writing to make my ideas clearer and memorable? headings with different sizes and styles of writing images and photos, charts and graphs bold and underlined text icons How will my layout make good use of white space to avoid my work looking cluttered and how will I break the text up? e.g. bullet points boxes lines, arrows shapes
