Neighborhood Survey Redesign

It is hypothesized that the better the design of a survey the more likely it is to be thoughtfully filled out and promptly returned. With that in mind I'm much more confident this survey will be filled out and returned to me.

New Resident Survey Design

Here's my first draft of the survey I plan to distribute among the residents living along the track... what do you guys think?

Resident Survey Inspiration

Came across this survey last night at dinner, It's a brilliant template to redesign. I'll use this to create a survey to distribute to the residents of the neighbor and attach a stamp so they can easily mail it back to me. For 50 surveys it will cost perhaps $30 total... well worth the data!

And take a quick survey for me, thanks!

Waste of Money?

"Stimulus money", "It costs us a lot... each and every year... over 10 million dollars", and "Conquer the LA river" - yikes!

On the bright side (sarcastic), graffiti artists now have 52 miles of fresh canvas!

Teacher Survey

Here's another survey, this one is meant for teachers. I'm going to drop them off, hopefully 10, to Thurgood Marshal High School in San Francisco.

All the surveys follow the same visual hierarchy and share similar prompts for establishing whether or not public art, transportation, and education have a relationship and if so what it is. The section on bottom for additional thoughts is a gamble in it's unorthodoxness but I believe it's a gamble well worth taking!

Transport Survey

Here's an example of a possible survey to be handed out at MUNI bus stops and/or on MUNI. Let me know what you think!

Wet Paint

Here's an example of a current SF Bureau of Street Environmental Service "Wet Paint" sign. It really shows the lack of thought that goes into there brand. As annotated it has glaring deficiencies such as font, layout, and message. One would think with the amount of time and money and effort that goes into cleaning the city that the city would not waste such a great opportunity like a "wet paint" sign... but alas they do!

Time to get crackin'!

A Solution

Through my research I discovered this Grant being offered by San Francisco. It's the perfect opportunity to test my hypothesis, very exciting! My research is also proving both the importance of art education leading to a better understanding of community humanity and society but that an installation in the suggested location would be both interesting and beneficial to the general public!

This Grant calls for an organization to receive the $15,000, Industrial Design Outreach (IDO) is the perfect recipient. Through my experience with IDO this semester I'll develop a complete lesson plan that will take place over an appropriate segment of time at an appropriate venue.

Time to get cracking!
