This is a very well formatted infographic! It does a great job at conveying the information. quickly, efficiently and in an orderly manner. The images also have purpose, and illustrate the information being presented. I do believe that a more aesthetically fitting font on some of the information presented would have made this infographic much more enjoyable.
I will point out though, I do not see how the rates at which social groups pass away due to allergies the most are relevant. The classification between races strikes me as out of place only because the rest of the infographic does not seem to discuss any structural phenomena, but preventive measures for the disease. Other than this, the infographic is very well done!

This was a very informative infographic about allergies. Although there were minimal words used to explain things, I enjoyed how the information was portrayed mostly through images and graphs as it made it easy to read and understand. I also suffer from allergies but I had never learned much about the different types of allergies and their effect on people.

Hello Adrian, I would first like to say that I enjoyed reading this infograph I especially liked the way you formatted it with your use of fonts and colors. For a bit of criticism however, I found it strange how you felt the need to capitalize entire words or even entire sentences to punctuate the details your are presenting when you could have instead used bold or underlined the words or sentences. However, your usage of pictures was good, and I enjoyed how you provided a section offering solutions to people who are dealing with severe allergies and allergic reactions. Great job on this infograph!

Without being an expert in graphic design, I would dare to say that this is a great example of how an infographic should look like. I particularly like the way in which the information is organized. It is greatly structured, and that helps to communicate really well. The use of graphs and other visual aids strongly supports the text and adds freshness to a topic that has been long discussed. The color scheme is also engaging and consistent. If I encounter something like this on a wall or online, I would for sure take a minute to read it.

This article does an excellent job of defining allergies and providing a clear understanding of how they develop in the body. It provides helpful tips for managing allergies, including allergy testing and medications options. This is a very good infographic and provides a thorough overview of the topic. Good Job!

Personally, I’ve never experienced life-threatening allergies, I’ve only had seasonal allergies which weren’t severe, but just proved to be very inconvenient. As a community, fighting allergies can prove to be effective because if done, it could strengthen our immune system, and reduce the overall cost of treating allergies. Strengthening our immune system obviously ensures that we live longer, and don’t get sick. Also, if we cut back on treating allergies, budgeting could be increased for others.

The infographic was very simple and neatly organized, it made it very easy to understand the information presented. As for the information listed, I think it’s disappointing to see how Black people are disproportionately affected compared to those of other races and I wish to know why or how it affects them at higher rates than others.

Allergies don’t seem so bad; until you have them. Allergies are something that is most common, and it could lead to death. There is not really a cure but; if exposed to small doses of the allergies it could help to fight it. We could also learn from the early stages on how to stop it, what could be a solution, and the impacts it has on one person. Many get impacted by it; but get more affected than others. It is our duty to learn how to take care of ourselves and the future. We need to be serious about allergies and how it impacts us as a whole.

This is a very nice infographic that gets right to the point of their topic is, it’s very interesting to learn that so many people are affected by allergies each year and that black people are the ones predominately affected by allergies as well. It’s also interesting that medicine allergies are one of the major causes of allergies, I feel like that says more about the system we have in America than anything else in this infographic.
