only superficial

not clear. Also, the
slogan and design are
too simplitic.

issue is brief and it does
not reflect enough
research or a possible
solution to diminish the
issue. The design is not
that meaningful or
representative of the
issue or the solution.

contains acceptable
research and information
on a social issue and its
impact on society. It also
contains a proposal of a
solution to the problem,
somehow reflected on a
good slogan and design.

structured and documented
with enough information
about a social issue and how
it affects society. There is
also a consistent proposal to
solve it, which includes
appropriate slogan, impact,
design, and an analysis on
how to diminish said issue in
the student's context.
