Survey Topics

[Barnett Thomas P (Tom)]

Hello, SIG members. 

Soon, I plan to launch an online survey of the Illustrators and Visual
Designers SIG. From the survey, I hope to get a much better picture
about who our SIG members are, and also some insights to guide the
direction of this SIG's future.

I have an initial survey drafted, and I've included the 15 questions
below. If you have any feedback on these questions, let's discuss it. In
particular, I'm very interested in the makeup of the SIG membership and
what members want from the SIG, and I've brought those questions to the
top of the list. What do we do and what are we interested in?


Q: How would you describe yourself?
Technical Illustration professional
Visual design professional
Graphic design professional
Web design professional
Technical communicator interested in our field
Technical communicator that needs to learn more in our field


Q: What type of work do you do and what areas are you interested in?
Rank the following groups with respect to the work you do and your
interest in. For example, mark your first group in importance with a 1,
your second most important with a 2, and so on. For groups you do not
work in or have an interest in, leave blank.

Technical Writing, Information Design, Information Architecture 

Technical Illustration, CAD

Multimedia, Video, Audio, Motion Design

Web Design, Interface Design

Graphic Design, Illustration, Art, Logo Design

Business Graphics

Desktop Publishing, Publishing, Typography

Instructional Design, Presentations

The reason I'm asking about what work SIG members are doing and what
interests them is because I want the SIG activity to meet both areas. If
you think work and interest should be separated, let me know.
