    Hey Adrian. Your infographic has a beautiful, straightforward layout. The content offers wonderful insight and understanding on allergies, and the colors and graphics are quite appealing. I was unsure of what to do if someone had a serious allergic reaction because I personally don’t have any allergies. This essay is great for spreading awareness. I really like your use of statistics ranging from how many people suffer from allergies yearly to the financial cost of allergies in the U.S. yearly to symptoms to look out for.

    This infographic was not only well written, but it was also very aesthetically pleasing. As someone who suffers from allergies every year I found this infographic very interesting because it allowed me to learn more about allergies and how they effect others. It also caused me to have a few questions regarding allergies, like why do allergies seem to impact minorities more?

    This infographic was straightforward to follow, and I liked the graphics’ relation with the statistics given. The information was pliable and exciting. For example, I did not know allergies were the sixth leading cause of chronic illnesses, costing Americans 18 million dollars annually. It shows how much of a menace allergies are medically and financially in America. Furthermore, it is excellent that the infographic gives solutions to help those who suffer from allergies.

    Hi Adrien! I didn’t know that allergies could be this serious! I always have them every year. I was wondering where allergies come from and why certain people get them and others don’t. I think it might have to do with our immune system but I’m not very sure. The layout of your infographic was really fun to look at. It was informative and helped me understand all the basis I need to know about allergies.

    Hello Adrian! As someone with allergies, it is easy for others to brush them off as something very mild. I believe there are many that do not know that allergies can actually lead to death. Therefore, I appreciate the way you presented the information. The infographic presents all the symptoms without leaving the reader the ability to think allergies is not something that can seriously affect someone. I think the infographic is very informative and is attractive to the eye. I love this infographic, good job!

    Hello Adrian I greatly appreciate that you chose this issue to inform others more about allergies as I suffer from them. I was unaware that medication causes more allergy deaths than food, despite the fact that I do have more seasonal and medication allergies. It was incredibly fascinating to read. Regarding the infographic itself, I appreciated the abundance of images and illustrations you included. It was much simpler for me to understand because I learn best visually. Everything was very well-organized, and I really appreciated the way you provided allergy sufferers with options. Overall, excellent work.

    Hello Adrian, this is a truly amazing infographic. I appreciate how large everything is because, not only is the entire graphic visually appealing with aesthetic cartoons and pictures, but the central idea of the entire graphic is also conveyed with large, bold, information. This, in combination, makes the infographic informative and easily digestible in a very unique manner. In addition, the organization and flow of ideas is done exactly as I imagine it should be. This infographic is great, and I would not change any of it.

    It is nice knowing im not the only person who struggles with allergies. I am allergic to long haired animals yet I cannot stay away from them. It is nice to see some options on how to help limit the symptoms or even if you wanna get tested for allergies there’s an option for that. This impacts many Americans.
