They must all be relevant and have a purpose 2. This purpose must be explained 3. They must be referenced if not your own - Check Cite them Right for styles 4. They must be labelled 5. They can be listed in the contents page so they are easy to find 5.2 If appropriate add an image or colour to the title page or front cover of your report. You can also use colour within the main body of your report.
