Final Tips

 

• This folio will take time! Set and follow a week by week timeline so you can keep on top of what needs to be completed for folio and garments. You do not want to do all this in a rush at the end. Remember it is worth THE SAME amount of marks as your garmets.

• Think about the colour scheme of your folio. Pull out the main colours from your work, and the look/feel/emotion you want to portray throughout the folio. Try using the Adobe Colour app if you're stuck for a colour scheme.

• The colours and fonts you choose should should enhance, not detract from your information.

• Everything must be clear and easy to read! 

• Keep the same headings (size/font), borders etc consistent throughout the folio. It should look cohesive. 

• Gift wrap, ribbons and scrapbbooking materials can be very useful. You don't need to go over the top.
