This infographic was very eye catching and easy to look at. the topic is something I feel is not talked about enough and should be. It was nice to look at and I felt it had the right amount of statistics to catch my eye. The light colors mesh well together with the visuals.I enjoy how the references take up little to no space and the information is easy to read and is placed in a nice way. An overall great job!

Great job at making an infographic that addresses a problem that I am sure many of us can relate to. While packed with information, you have presented us with a format that makes a heavy topic digestible and accessible to the very communities that have had to deal with these problems. Particularly interesting was the section on which groups are most at risk

This was a very informative infographic about a topic that carries a lot of stigma around it. It does a great job providing the information by beginning with the basics of childhood obesity in Texas before delving deeper into the statistics of the disease and prevention options. The graphics provided are also visually appealing, and the statistics complement the article well.

I appreciate how you highlighted one of the aspects of childhood obesity. I am curious about what is the cause of childhood obesity given that the rates have doubled and why are families from the lower socioeconomic group more likely to endure childhood obesity? The call to action for academic institutions to take measures to prevent childhood obesity is great at directing attention.

Before reading this infographic I honestly did not know much about childhood obesity, but now I know much more information. Like the predictors for obesity, and the fact that minorities are at a greater risk of childhood diabetes. Overall I think this infographic was really informative and I believe the author truly did a wonderful job in the making of this article.

This infographic was very well presented! This topic was very well talked about and very interesting. This is a topic that is talked about a lot because people have seen the studies of the obesity. I thought the citations at the end of poster was very useful because there was enough information on the poster but if we wanted to read more we had the sources at hand with us.

I love the text selection that you made for this infographic, the title is easily the staple piece of this infographic poster. I do like how you chose to articulate the facts to make the information easier to understand and quick to read. The small artistic pieces that you added to the poster have not gone unnoticed, I love the little pieces of tape that hold up each text boss individually especially since they compliment the color scheme of the infographic overall. Amazing job!

I extremely enjoyed the way that this infographic was made. The color font used for the words pop out against the white text-boxes, and the pink color used outside of them immediately draws your attention. I also liked how you formatted the infographic, placing the citations at the bottom under the important information and making them small so they don’t draw too much attention. Lastly, the use of graphs and pictures do a good show to explain the scale of the issue regarding childhood obesity in our state. This was a very well made presentation and probably my favorite!

Wow this infographic is truly great! This graphic took on a very serious and hard topic in a manner that is both easy to understand, and highly informative. The color scheme, organization, and pictures/graphs are extremely aesthetically pleasing. In addition, the graphic has every piece of information you could need to have a basic understanding of this issue. That, alone, makes this graphic especially good, but it is also the manner in which the graphic is written that makes it top notch. I, truly, would not change a thing about this graphic, well done!

Such a terrible thing to have to be informed about but this infographic does a great job of laying out the basic information that people should know about how to combat this epidemic of childhood obesity. I liked the information provided as the best thing we can do in cases like these is inform people about what is happening so that hopefully changes can be made at the state and federal levels of legislation. So that one day we can hopefully stop these companies from producing such terrible processed foods that is poisoning our bodies.
