Dear fellow list members,
This email is to request your assistance in a survey conducted for a PhD
research project. The aim of this survey is to obtain a clearer
understanding of the views held by Graphic and New Media practitioners and
educationalist, towards the application of typography in screen-based
interactive media.
Please forward this email to full-time and part-time faculty members of the
Graphic Design and New Media courses (or the equivalent) in your
institution. Thank you for your co-operation.

Hello.
I am currently pursuing a PhD degree at Northumbria University, Newcastle
upon Tyne in the United Kingdom. I am based at the Centre for Design
Research, within the School of Design.
My research subject concentrates on developing a practice-led framework for
the application of typography in screen-based interactive media. A key part
of the research is to identify current attitudes of graphic designers and
educationalist regarding the application of typography in screen-based
media. Hence, I would appreciate it if you could spend a few minutes filling
in an online questionnaire. Your feedback will serve to build a
knowledge-driven foundation, which is crucial to the development of this new
framework.
To fill in the questionnaire, go to:
http://www.cfid.co.uk/joyce/questionnaire.pdf
I would appreciate it if you could submit your questionnaire before 31st of
January 2003.
(In order to submit the questionnaire, you will need to view the PDF
document in your browser window or from a full version of Acrobat 4 or
above. If these two options are not available, please go to
http://www.cfid.co.uk/joyce/troubleshooting.html for further information.)
Once again, I must stress how important your contribution is to this
research. As a practicing designer currently involved in research, I believe
that Design Research should address issues driven and informed by
practice-led knowledge.
If you are aware of any fellow Graphic Design/New Media lecturers or
designers who will be interested to fill in the questionnaire, please
forward this email to them. The more feedback I receive, the more varied and
representative the findings of the survey will be. And lastly, if you would
like to view the survey findings, please email your request to me at:

Thank you for your time and contribution.
Yours truly,
Joyce Yee
