    },

    "Space Utilization": {
      "3-4": "Empty space is organized and large enough to visually organize content segments from 3-5 feet away. No large areas of white space.",

      "0": "Little to no empty space; the poster looks like a mass of text and diagrams. Difficult to navigate from 3-5 feet away. Large areas of white space."
