Rationale

Having to decide how to present their information in a way that is clear and correct, yet still appealing and different allows the groups to work on their originality as well as their sense of aesthetics, without compromising on content. They have to not only consider WHAT they are adding, but also HOW they are adding it and HOW it will be perceived by others. Will they understand it? Will they find it appealing?
