    I'm not sure what to look at first - everything is kind of neutral. Suggestions:

    1. Adjust buttons in the "Ready to start writing your essay? Lets go!" panel.

      • Use parallel structure for the wording of the buttons. Currently there are two verb-based and two descriptive.

      • Give the buttons some color (light to medium blue perhaps) and make the text bold.

    2. Bump up the headings in the two light blue panels on the left.

    3. Make the background white in the main panel with "JFK's Life."

    Other issues:

    1. Lose the gray arrows behind the green buttons or make them actual arrows. The gray arrows are confusing.

      1. Anchor "worried about plagirism" link to something. It's floating. Maybe put it on a single line above the search tab.
