Layout
Layout
0 points
The layout is cluttered,
confusing, and does not use
spacing, headings, and
subheadings to enhance the
readability. The text is

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.

structure but appears
cluttered and busy or
distracting with large gaps of

lengthy paragraphs, too
many different fonts, dark or
busy background, overuse of
bold, or lack of appropriate
indentations of text.

and vertical white space
appropriately. Sometimes

fonts, italics, bold, long
paragraphs, color, or busy
background detracts and
does not enhance
readability.

enhance the readability of
the text.
