Discipline: Education
Abstract:
Vision is essential to a human’s daily life. Learning some eye conditions can help individuals take
care of their eyes and prevent developing severe eye problems. The purpose of this study is to
increase the awareness level of Filipinos on visual impairments. The researcher also aimed to
produce engaging educational materials in the form of infographic posters and motion graphics
video which are published on a website. To determine the effectiveness, a sample of 15
respondents aged between 13 years old to 60 years old were gathered to assess multimedia
outputs and marketing materials. Results showed that all outputs produced by the researcher
were effective and outstanding. The three multimedia outputs were informative and visually
appealing. The two marketing materials were interesting for participants. To conclude, the study
has acquired a positive impact among target participants.
