We can see the text cleary	We can not see the text clearly

Composition

Good	Bad
This one has picture’s	This doesn’t have any pictures.
This shows the name of the	This doesn’t have a title.

Layout

Good	Bad
The layout is good	The text is in the way of the title
The layout is all in the right place	The profile is near the picture, and the pictures are in the wrong place. Also the title that says about android is bigger than the text.

Text

This one is good because it is all aligned.	This one is bad because it is has different fonts
This one is good because it is aligned to the left properly	All the text is in a different spot.
