Questions/Surveys to send out

QUESTION TIME
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've compiled a list of designers and studios I'm going to reach out to in regards to finding out a little bit more about collaboration/inspiration and opinions on globalisation and graphic design style in todays world. 

I'm going to individually target different demographics - students, studios, designers - both of older and younger generations. The older generation having been exposed to and practicing in graphic design before the dawn of the computer and mass globalisation in culture.

Questionnaire for designers
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Where are you from/Where did you grow up?

2. Where are you based at this moment?

3. If you have received any kind of formal education in art & design, when and where was this?

4. When you were studying, or when you were first truly inspired to produce great graphic design who were your main heroes and inspirations, and if so what did you appreciate about them?

5. Would you say most of your inspiration and creativity in tackling a problem comes from your peers and local environment you spend the most time in or does it come from external sources such as the internet and tools such as Pinterest and blogs.


6. Who are some of your favourite designers and/or studios at the moment, and where are they based?


7. If you have collaborated with other designers and studios on briefs - are they often reasonably local or overseas? If overseas, what kind of countries do these include?


8. Could you describe your 'local' design style and visual language, which you feel is recognisable to the world and makes it different from design from another part of the world?


9. Final one! Using the example of food, Indian food, is nothing like Italian food - it's a regional style of cooking and unique process individual to the area of India - although in todays global culture we're perhaps more exposed to Indian food more than ever. In this same respect, regional graphic design from around the world is much more exposed to the rest of the world than ever before - we can easily collaborate through the internet. The world of graphic design is perhaps less isolated than it was 50 years ago. 

Do you feel in the future, distinct and recognisable graphic design styles according to regions will remain in the face of globalisation?
