• 3–5 samples: (1) a product page or datasheet you authored, (2) before/after product photo edit, (3) a one-page sell sheet or graphic advertisement.
• Optional: a short rewrite of a technical vacuum chamber product for space flight simulation, of your choice, showing clarity and tone for a technical audience.
