Layout 5 points
Criteria Description
Layout
5. Target 5 points

length for the target audience and to the point. The background and colors enhance
the readability of the text.

subheadings to enhance the readability. The text is extremely difficult to read with
long blocks of text, small point size for fonts, and inappropriate contrasting colors.
Poor use of headings, subheadings, indentations, or bold formatting is evident.
