Layout (Knowledge)

Layout is organized - easy to follow Not Layout needs work - hard to Layout begins to make good use of Layout makes good use of the Layout makes excellent use of the
submitted or navigate game due to the page page page - refined organization of all
Makes good use of space on page - elements are balanced on page and have a logical flow does not disorganized placement of Game board seems somewhat Game board is organized and elements, including use of margins
Alignment of elements is evident meet most elements disorganized most of the elements are prop- Excellent alignment of elements
requirements Question/answer layout does not erly aligned on page demonstrated throughout the
have a logical visual flow Question/answer layout has a game
logical visual flow throughout Question/answer layout has a logical
most of the board visual flow throughout the board

Image Manipulation (Application)

Images are scaled correctly - no distortion Not Images are distorted or of Many images are distorted or of Most of the images are properly All of the images are properly scaled
submitted or poor quality - pixelated poor quality - pixelated scaled - no distortion - no distortion
Images were included that show no evidence of pixelation (original too small) does not Image scaling is inconsistent Most images show no signs of All images show no signs of pixe-
meet most pixelation lation
requirements Image scaling allows the player Image scaling emphasizes the im-
to interpret the photo ages on the page

Colours (Thinking)
Not Colours overpower other Colour choices lack consistency Colour choices demonstrate Colour choices are refined - game
Colours compliment one another on the page submitted or elements on page or do not Colours cause visual confusion consistency through entire game board has 1 unified look
Colours are consistent throughout the game board does not compliment one another that results in difficulty follow - board Colours create a visually interest-
Colour and brightness of shapes and background add to the design without visually overpowering other elements meet most Individual elements dont ing the flow of the game board Colours allow questions and ing game board without distract-
requirements blend together rather Colours lack contrast between answers standout without ing or overpowering the questions
than stand on their own background image and questions visual distraction and answers
Game board lacks colour and answers

Text (Knowledge)
Design principles - text is easy to read based on scale, colour and font choice Not Text is poorly laid out on the Most of the text lacks effective use Most of the text makes effective Ttext makes effective use of design
submitted or page of design principles use of design principles principles
Text is aligned within shapes does not Text cannot be read due Text difficult to read or inconsis- Text is easy to read and is Text colours contrast effectively
meet most to scale or colour choices tencies in design is confusing consistent in design with shapes and tie in well with
requirements Text needs show evidence More considerations needs to be Consideration given to consistent the overall page
of consistent alignment given to consistent alignment alignment within shapes and on Text is easy to read and is consistent
within shapes or on the page the page in design
Obvious consideration given to
consistent alignment within
shapes and on the page
