How not to wreck 'Miss Universe' Event

An attempt to solve a major design problem in ‘Miss Universe elimination card’ -  Dedicated to these beautiful ladies.
I cannot know the pain you feel. 
I cannot share your memories or your loss. 
My words of sympathy are beneath measure, 
yet know that my heart reaches out with love to your heart.
– Jonathan Lockwood Huie
'Elimination card miss universe' - The design says it all. 
For starters 'Elminination' word miss spelled, Blunder on such a platform must be dealt seriously 
Well, It has nothing to do with typography, The event is staged such that the votes are visible to the audience, final voting takes place amongst judges and then declared. Winning countries name is transferred through a sticker on the elimination card – Final Show.
Introduction to Visual Hierarchy 
The image above shows the homepage for Wix.com. The photos (1) on the top left are attractive and catching. To the right of them, Wix has put the main message (2) and the main action desired (3). Below that, the visitor can scan sample sites. (4) As we move down the page, the content and images become smaller and more detailed. The content higher up on the screen was carefully selected to bring visitors in, attract their attention and keep them engaged.
One way to establish Visual Hierarchy is Typographic variations. The level of attention on a specific element can be decided with the type scale, weight, and alignment. Now user automatically builds visual relationship between elements and we can make sure what should they read first and what later?
 
The further detailing can be done using color, texture, and shape and even by layering the elements.
Having such hierarchy in layout supports the message, concept and justifies the importance of design details. It sets the fundamental for the reader’s experience and helps in setting the priorities right.
The mistake of Steve Harvey or design of this card? This photo says it all, Importance of design.
The challenge is when we have 3 to 1 announcing approach.
