9. III. Organization Link issues cause lack of organization
Too many categories to choose from
Narrow down main topic
Expand within each topic
Reflects lack of communication about how to organize information
Charts and Graphs confusing

10. IV. Design Aspects Balance Alignment Grouping/Use of white space
Consistency
Contrast

11. Design Balance
Dark border on left vs. white space on the right

12. Design Alignment Text not justified
Graphs and Charts do not have same dimensions and seem to be placed where they will fit
NO CONSISTENCY to the alignment of graph size, placement, and association of text

13. Design Grouping There is no obvious grouping
Spacing between charts and graphs is almost non-existent
Headings are not distinct
A border may help sight look more clean lined

14. Design Consistency Inconsistent color choice for graphs and charts
Bullets vs numbering in lists are not consistent
Graphs and Charts labled, but not in the same manner throughout
Uses a font with serifs, helpful with a professional look

15. Design Contrast
Background color could be helpful to make charts and graphs a focal point
Dark Blue color provides good contrast with the white text, but the text is hard to read
