have made and documenting your process:
• Show the ‘before’ and ‘after’ for the each of the 4 pieces.
• Make sure you include the peer review recommended amendments (perhaps in dot point form),
but keep the names of the person who made the recommendations—so you can show what
changes you responded to—and how you made those amendments.

• Spell and grammar check your document.
You will also:
• Expand and develop one of your four portfolio pieces into a design project case study.
• Integrate any key feedback from the week 7 presentation into your document and make those
changes for each of the 4 pieces prior to submitting.
You will be marked based on your ability to:
