There were two main parts of the findings and discussion; those were preliminary field testing and final product revision.
1. Preliminary Field Testing
The writer delivered preliminary field testing by distributing a questionnaire to the respondents. Preliminary field testing includes acquiring
evaluation for the designed materials. The post-design questionnaire attempted to find out opinions and suggestions from the respondents. The
opinions, comments, and suggestions on the designed materials were used to revise and improve the designed materials. The writer presents four parts to
discuss the preliminary field testing. Those are the descriptions of the respondents, the data presentation, the discussion on the designed materials,
and respondents’ comments and suggestions on the designed materials.
