Summary

Clear, concise written explanations of why you made specific choices — the writing quality of a case study often matters as much as the visual design itself for communicating your thinking.

• 2Learn to avoid vague statements ('I made it more user-friendly') in favor of specific reasoning.
• 3Practice reading your case study writing aloud to catch awkward or unclear phrasing.
