Layering and effects
There is hardly any use of layering, however the lack of this decreases
the chances of it looking cluttered, so this can be seen as a good
thing, however the use of layering would improve the amount of skill
put into this. However the creator has used good images as they all
promote a direct mode of address for the reader which makes them
more involved in the page.
