User testing is important in producing anything of worth so there has been a small amount of it today. Some actual size stamps have been printed out showing both the natural state and the heated state.
According to research, users will uncover all of the text and continue to search for more text rather than creating their own design. Maybe the text needs to be visible all the time? Or would that be too much information on the stamp initially. Would people be able to create a design with the text constantly showing?
The stamp needs to be simplified. Maybe the explanation of the stamp’s purpose could be written on the pack. There is also the possibility for a collector’s case, or the combination of the two.
