Aesthetics Impact
Considering aesthetics resulted in a complete redesign of the my milkweed 4 monarchs plant stake. First, the size of the images on wk 5 are too small. Second the use of purple color is meaningful only if you know that the flowers of the plant appear purple/pink. Finally, there was too much "assembly" required to print the lables and then cut them and apply them.
The revised prototype uses a single label that laps to the back, has better visibility for the words and is a more aesthetically pleasing design (according to the 5 people I asked).

Prototype A -- M4M less words
This is the prototype I most likely will use because:
- it can accomodate the slight shifts that occur with home
printing - the words are most legible
- it uses less ink (which applies for doing it yourself)
Prototype B -- more color
While i personally prefer this prototype over the previous purple plant stakes, it is not very easy to read, and the green appears darker than it is because the stick is not white. Still it will be a useful alternative choice at events.
