Step 8 – Competition write up and additional text
April 28, 2009As part of the competition requirements an explanation of 500 words needed to be provided with the designs. As I have dyslexia I was pleased that the total was limited to 500 words. However when I began to write up the supporting project document I found that in condensing the information it was difficult to explain the full extent of my concept idea. It took me some time to reduce the content down to the key issues and keep to the word limit.
In addition to the support document I decided that within my finished design I would have text to explain the displayed images. This again was difficult for me due to my dyslexia and I was helped to make sure that the grammar was correct and to a good standard. Getting the design proof read and checked, I hope has increased my chances of getting my concept idea across. I feel that the images I created do the job, but the additional text helps guide the reader through.
