Observations “Don’t panic - I’m just here for the stuff
on your refrigerator” - Refrigerator tells the story of a household. - Magnets are properly aligned near the top, to keep them out of children’s reach. - Decorative pieces are again lined up near the top, i.e., at eye level.
- Refrigerators are an effective means of communication. - Magnets
on the refrigerator have decorative, emotional or aspirational values.
Further Improvements Larger sample size More diversity in samples
Thank You.
