        • Make your message clear: Highlight your AIM and CONCLUSION using bold andcolored fonts.  
        • Be brief: Use bullet points and only the most relevant text. 200-300 words are more than enough for the main text. 
        • Pictures and graphics:Particular attention should be paid to the resolution of pictures. As a rule of thumb, use at least 300 dpi resolution. Make use of color and graphics. At least 3 pictures or figures are recommended to graphically show your study results.
