Primary Research: Inspire+Influence

Posted on 11:01 by cena
I recently carried out a questionnaire primarily to leeds college of art students purposefully, to gauge the kind of design practice developing in essentially the next generation - the future of graphic design.

Questions asked gave a lot of interesting information about methods most designs use for design inspiration, how many have collaborated overseas, and where and their own opinions on culture + design becoming standardised or not due to global cultural reach.



Questions:


1.Which of the following methods of engaging with design do you frequently use?
  • Magazines
  • Internet
  • Art galleries
  • Books
  • Peers
  • Critiques
  • Collaborators
  • Other ...

2.Does most of your inspiration in tackling a design problem develops from your local environment or online?



  • Local environment
  • Internet

3. When using the internet as a tool in your design process, which of the following platforms do you visit?
  • Behance
  • Pinterest
  • Linkedin
  • Ffffound!
  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • Other ....
4. If you have collaborated on design projects, have they been domestically, and/or internationally, please state where.
  • N/A
  • Domestically
  • Internationally
  • Please state where ...
5. Could you describe characteristics of your local, or regional design style that you feel is globally recognisable?


6. Finally, do you feel culture, and design practice being as globally connected as it is in contemporary society is positive or detrimental to individual design style?

I also took this opportunity to design an interpretation of an internationally considerate design style, as my dissertation is closely linked to my own growing design awareness I'm aiming to create a small body of design experiments which visuallise a highly communicative, progression of the International Style.

In this case I've created layouts encompassing the top 3 languages in the world, accounting for 25% of the world - English, Chinese (Mandarin) and Spanish. Although most likely everyone speaks English in LCA it was an enjoyable and I feel relevant exercise in engaging with the aesthetics of what I'm researching.

I hope to have an individual body of work reflecting my research and thought process, and finally a truly international style through collaborating on a subject across the world
