Layout 0 points 12 points 13.2 points 13.8 points 15 points

Layout The layout is cluttered,
confusing, and does not use
spacing, headings, and
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.
The layout shows some
structure, but appears
cluttered and busy or
distracting with large gaps of
white space or a distracting
background. Overall
readability is difficult due to
lengthy paragraphs, too
many different fonts, dark or
busy background, overuse of
bold, or lack of appropriate
indentations of text.
The layout uses horizontal
and vertical white space
appropriately. Sometimes
the fonts are easy to read,
but in a few places the use of
fonts, italics, bold, long
paragraphs, color, or busy
background detracts and
does not enhance
readability.
The layout background and
text complement each other
and enable the content to be
easily read. The fonts are
easy to read and point size
varies appropriately for
headings and text.
The layout is visually pleasing
and contributes to the
overall message with
appropriate use of headings,
subheadings, and white
space. Text is appropriate in
length for the target
audience and to the point.
The background and colors
enhance the readability of
the text.
