Case studies: structure

1. Final visuals.

Lead with the pearl

It takes years for oysters to create pearls.

Recruiters are more interested in the pearl itself than the painstaking process of creating the pearl.

Start your case study page with the beautiful high-fidelity wireframe or prototype that you ended up with — show them the goods right away.

2. Quick info.

Right below (or next to) your final visuals, you should have bullet points describing:

• How long you worked on this for

• Who you worked on this with (if any)

• If this is actual work for a company or a case study/personal project

3. Quick context.

This is the very brief project introduction you wrote.

4. The problem(s).

This should be the start of your actual content. Keep your problem descriptions succinct; each problem should only be one sentence (with maybe a subtitle sentence to give it more context if needed).

5. Your process.
