I would like to thank Dr. Lori Boies for her help during the entirety of this project, particularly in helping revise and state what information I should be including as well. I am also grateful to my classmates for their assistance in helping revise and give opinions on how to improve my infographic and for providing positive feedback that helped show what areas of the infographic stuck with those who read it.

Hi Sydney! First of all, I love all of the images on your infographic! They both contribute to the visual appeal of the infographic and help the reader visualize what you are writing about. I had never given thought to if the carnivorous pitcher plant underwent photosynthesis and your infographic taught me so much about a subject I never thought to look into. The only comment I have is on the color of the text, the brown text was hard to focus on at times. Still, I love the look of your infographic so much!

It’s interesting because, in reality, they can obtain the status of omnivores. With how the famous pincher plant obtains energy. While these plants do capture and digest insects for additional nutrients, but they still undergo photosynthesis like other plants.

Great work. Very easy to follow and conveys information very well. The choice of colors isn’t quite earthy but offers an interesting atmosphere that I ended up getting used to. Ended up gaining more deep knowledge about biology- probably my weakest point

Interesting. I did not even know of the existence of this plant. I was so intrigued by what I read in this infographic that I did a quick search on Youtube to see how these plants acted and what they looked like in real life. Surprisingly, the drawings presented in this design reflect very well what The Carnivorous Pitcher Plant actually looks like. I really liked the conscious use of the color green and the play with its shades to prioritize certain areas over others.

The only carnivorous plant I was familiar with, as I’m sure most people are, is the Venus flytrap. (I don’t know if that plant is a pure heterotroph.) It’s weird to think that plants can evolve to trap live prey; it makes you wonder what they would be able to do if given the time-span to evolve other carnivorous traits. This was insightful and remedies a superficial knowledge I had.

Hi Sydney! Great infographic, it is very appealing to the eye and so easy to read! I did not know the difference between autotrophic and heterotrophic until I read this! I am not really good with plants, and I wasn’t really aware about carnivorous pitcher plants, it was captivating! Congratulations on your nomination and great work!

Well thought out Infograph! As someone who loves plants and knowing the different types there are while also the benefits of them. So being able to see that many plants are carnivores while simply going through photosynthesis is amazing to learn about this topic is captivating. Can’t wait to see more of your work because this one was super interesting to read and acknowledge

Hi Sydney! I love the colors that you used for your infographic, it is visually pleasing to look at. I also loved the little images of plants. The title is what caught my attention and it was interesting to learn about photosynthesis in carnivorous plants, and learn the difference between autotrophic vs heterotrophic and that they feed on insects for nutrients. Overall, great job!

Congratulations on your infographic! The design elements and color palette are captivating. The clear distinctions drawn between autotrophic and heterotrophic nutrition are commendable. The presentation’s clarity and simplicity make even complex concepts easy to understand. This topic is engaging and educational, making it a pleasure to explore. Kudos on your excellent work!

I like this infographic that you did. I loved how you included the difference in words when it came to explaining the difference in types of plants. This infographic was really easy for me to follow and it was designed very beautifully. The last thing that I like about this was the way it was organized which allowed me to follow without getting confused with other information.
