When I saved the file as a PDF the colors didn't quite turn out the way I wanted. Originally in MS Publisher, they were more blue than gray but I almost like this color more. I also tried resizing the picture but obviously it still looks too pixelated so I still need to work on that. I tried doing a summary box in my instruction set but due to the size it didn't work out very well. Hopefully since this will be going on an 8.5"x11" sheet of paper there will be more room. I think that it is an important feature as it allows the reader to quickly get an overall picture of the system.

I think this is a pretty nice layout. I also think it could use a repeating header, I saw this on some sample white paper I looked up. Again that’s just an idea. I also like where you were going with the summary box. Right now it gives the paper a heavy right sided feel. Maybe moving the text to the left and making it word wrap around the summary box would help. What I like about your one column layout is it allows you to get a lot of textual information onto the page. I suppose something we should hash out is deciding if we want to looks of a two column page or the raw informative power of a one column page.
White space considerations..
I like this layout, as it's completely different than the two column layout that Isaac and I used, and presents a contrasting method of how to present our white paper. With that said, I think the two column layout does a simpler job of balancing the text between both sides of the paper and thus minimizing white space and creating a more consistent structure throughout. I do like your subheading titles, and think that they're headed in the right direction. With regards to the actual header, I feel like it could be toned down a little to not draw so much attention away from the content. The sample white papers, provided by the instructor, do a great job of mastering this balance.
I like that your layout
I like that your layout leaves a lot of space for text, that allows you to get a lot of information in a small area which is ideal for this project because I feel like we have a lot of information to discuss. I do think you might have taken up too much space discussion price, and maybe should add something where you particular system is best suited for, and also the pros and cons of this system. Your image it great, I saw that in one of my sources, it coordinates with other group members images which will help out entire document to flow nicely.
