comments:
"This is an excellent example of an effective,
well-reported department article. Each case study
is well researched and thoroughly reported with
information useful to the magazine's primary
audience. The voice is professional yet relatable
and the anecdotal style is refreshing. The design
has impact and the original photography is
beautiful."

would - and I enjoyed the process."

Judging
comments:
"The reporter did a spectacular job of using
concrete examples of what to do -- and what not
to do. An immense amount of research helps make
this article a winner. Limiting it to just 6
steps also makes it more approachable.
Real-world examples were the key to presenting
the information in a digestible, workable
manner."

comments:
"It's easy for technology articles to slip
into the how-to category. Unfortunately, they
are usually too long or complicated even for the
intended audience. PC World does a
beautiful job of quickly identifying issues
clearly, then solving them just as easily."

"I really liked the way the article's
subheads were 'real-sounding' user complaints.
Easy to follow the how-to steps to solve the
problem. Artwork was prefect for the feature. It
aptly illustrated what the reader really needed
to know for success."
