Hey Guys, I’m doing a ‘Virtual Ethnography’ assignment for my User Theories module and I thought I would write my 1500 word report on the Graphic Design forum.

Basically, a ‘Virtual Ethnography’ is the study of an online community and how people react within it and share their knowledge.

I would be grateful if you could take some time to answer the few questions on my survey. There's only 8 of them. E.g. No. 1 Followed by your answer. No personal details please.

Cheers, if you can help me with this, it would be great.

Q1. What is your age, gender and location?
Q2. How often do you visit or post on the forum?
Q3. Do you feel Graphic Design forums offer a sense of community?
Q4. Do you feel it easier to communicate and voice your opinions online as opposed to being offline?
Q5. Do you think the forum influences your work as a Graphic Designer?
Q6. If so, in what ways does it influence your work?
Q7. What do you think is the best aspect of the forum?
Q8. Do you communicate with any of the other forum members by any other means such as MSN or offline?

That’s it guys. If you can’t answer all of the questions or in depth, it can still help me. Also, if there is anything else you may consider useful, please let me know?

Kind regards,
Jamie.
