Comparison/Contrast the two

For the Project Runway show, the judging was on outfits, which in many ways is different than papers. When a judge is holding a contest for designers, they look for colors, and how it looks on the model, they take note on if they followed the assignment or if they went on a tangent. While a judge is looking a paper they are looking for spelling, and grammar and punctuation.
While in both situations judges are looking for structure (in the outfit and in the essay formation), if its fits well (on the model, and in the topic given), does it show personality or not. These items are important for both the essay judges and the Runway judges.
Over looking happens more than one may think or assume that it would or does. I think that the view from the writes or designers aspect is over looked most of the time. When a reader first reads the sentence "John had had many calls today" you will first see a sentence error. Yet when you read it again you may catch yourself pausing at just the right moment in the sentence to hear it make sense. I think that if judges try to see the item which they are judging they will understand the writer more, and that in turns helps them see where they are coming from while writing the paper.
