Infographic Analysis (parabens)

In this paper, I will analyze every aspect of my infographic. It has as topic parabens, which is a synthetic preservative used to prolong the shelf life of certain products such as yogurt, eggs, hair products, makeup, etc. These preservatives are being used for many years, since it was commercialized for the first time in the 1950’s. The FDA, Food and Drugs Administration established that a few of parabens in products do not affect population’s health, but some companies of food, makeup, and others do not respect that restriction, causing serious diseases as breast cancer in their consumers. Most of the companies have limited number of parabens as FDA indicated, but cumulative exposure to the chemicals from several products could be saturating our bodies.

To write and organized this infographic, I utilized general to specific organization pattern. Since, it was necessity to explain background information about the topic that I chose (parabens), and then proceed to talk about the real problem that I want people to know about since it is affecting our society.

       The infographic is addresses to an audience around 16 years old to 70 years old due to the fact that this range of age can be needing this information, mainly young people to adult are the consumers of these products. Some young people, young adults and even old people use a lot of makeup and face and body lotion regularly but some of those products contain too many parabens in it. Moreover, some adults have children, and they could be interesting to know about that and protect their children of this real problem. To do this infographic, I used some researchers with fascinating information about parabens. And from this research I chose real information to get the attention of the audience and above all that summarizes the best of the articles. I likewise use bright colors and some images to highlight important information, and the information on the infographic could be as clear as possible for the audience.
