        | AVCE: Guidelines for the 
        Layout of a Successful Portfolio |  
        | The following are a set of guidelines 
        recommended by the department. We strongly suggest you follow these 
        guidelines, as they will help you to present your work effectively: 
          
            | 1 | Your work should be printed using 
            a standard font (Times New Roman, Ariel or similar). It should not 
            be printed in Bold or Italics, as this makes it much harder on the 
            eye to read. You can use alternative styles for titles, diagrams or 
            to highlight specific points within the text. |  
            | 2 | You should use font size 12, or 
            14 maximum, for the main body of your work. Any smaller is hard to 
            read, any larger looks childish. |  
            | 3 | You should leave one space after 
            a comma, and preferably two after each full stop. This is standard 
            typing practice. |  
            | 4 | Your work should preferably be 
            typed in the ‘fully blocked’ style. This means that you do not 
            indent at the beginning of each paragraph, but leave a line blank to 
            show that you are starting a new paragraph. You can chose the 
            ‘semi-blocked’ style if preferred, but you must be consistent. |  
            | 5 | Each page should have your name 
            and the title of the unit being completed in the header or footer. |  
            | 6 | Your document should be 
            accurately page numbered. This should be completed at the very end 
            of the assignment, and can be completed neatly in pen. |  
            | 7 | Your assignment must include a 
            contents page, a bibliography and a title page. |  
            | 8 | Your assignment should be handed 
            in for marking in the following condition: 
              
                | • | with all pages in the correct order; |  
                | • | numbered (faintly in pencil, if you are expecting to rework 
                it later); |  
                | • | an accurate contents page and bibliography; |  
                | • | held together, preferably in an A4 presentation wallet. 
                (Please do not present your work in a ring binder or with each 
                page in its own plastic wallet.) |  |  |  |  |
