4. Unity Unity is achieved by carrying out a common theme in the type styles, photos, story titles and descriptions. Do they work together?

5. Readability Can you read the type against the background? Is the type style readable? Are the sentences too long? Are the titles descriptive enough to make you know what the article is about? Does the type size signify the importance?

6. Photography Does the photo or photos support the theme? Does the photo catch your eye? Is it too busy or too simple?

7. Craftsmanship How is your effort and craftsmanship? You will need to be selecting, cutting, pasting and cropping. Does your cover look professionally neat?

8. Layout How did you arrange all the elements? Is the type lined up flush left, right, centered? Is the type over the picture or a background? Did you add a banner with the issue date, website and cost? Does the layout make it easy to read or confusing?
