4.3 Presentation & Quality

Presentation matters

How work is presented — clean composition, thoughtful cropping, quality reproduction — affects how it's perceived. Sloppy presentation undercuts strong work.

Craftsmanship

Craftsmanship — care in execution and finish — signals seriousness. Attention to detail shows respect for your own ideas.

Consistency

Across the portfolio, consistent quality of both artwork and documentation helps your strongest ideas come through clearly to scorers.
