Use Project Conventions#

Audience#

You are writing for a technical audience, not the general public. They will be expecting succinct statements rather than colourful language.

In simple terms:

  • don’t use a paragraph when you can use a sentence

  • don’t use a sentence if you can use a phrase

  • don’t use a phrase if you can use a word.

Documentation structure#

Your documentation needs to be structured. You should use section headings, a graphical elements to reinforce this structure. You do not need a cover page, nor table of contents.

Your documentation should also adhere to Visual Communication Principles, and be presentable.

You have strict page limits. I must stop reading at the end of your page limit and anything after that point is considered as not submitted.

Video structure#

All videos should commence with an introduction containing:

  • name

  • project name (FIA1 or IA2 etc)

  • type of video (technical proposal or low fidelity prototype)

All videos should finish with a brief conclusion.

All videos should have audio (please try to record somewhere quiet)

Subject matter covered:

  • communicate using the modes of visual, written and spoken communication to present data and information about digital solutions. [QCAA, 2017]
