II. Navigation
III. OrganizationLink issues cause lack of
organizationToo 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
IV. Design Aspects Balance Alignment Grouping/Use of white space Consistency Contrast
Design BalanceDark border on left vs. white
space on the right
Design AlignmentText not justifiedGraphs 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
Design GroupingThere is no obvious groupingSpacing between charts and
graphs is almost non-existentHeadings are not distinctA border may help sight look
more clean lined
Design ConsistencyInconsistent color choice for
graphs and chartsBullets vs numbering in lists are
not consistentGraphs and Charts labled, but
not in the same manner throughout
Uses a font with serifs, helpful with a professional look
Design ContrastBackground 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
