Questionnaire & Results

Questionnaire


After gathering data for our individual research papers about Saltaire, we had to construct a questionnaire to ask people visiting or located in Saltaire about their thoughts on making a virtual educational trailer based on Saltaire. Each group member had to create their own template, we talked about relevant questions that would be important to include so people known what it was about. Other details were considered; logos relating to our group were added, Introduction sentences so people had additional information and a thank you note at the end.

The team then considered which one was going to be used for the project, my design was chosen as it looked professional but another members questions replaced mine as it was easier and more understandable than my selection.

We than went around the village of Saltaire asking visitors, shop owners, students and staff to take part in our questionnaire. 30 copies were printed and 30 copies were completed within the hour. The results of the questionnaire will follow in a further update, the questionnaire above is the final design used for our research.


Results

The experience was different from other surveys I've done before, it had to be done quickly as we had little time to collate the results afterwards. I wouldn't say I learned much besides the designing side of questionnaires including design for results document. After finishing the design I converted it to a pdf again so it can be published on here.


The public during the survey period were somewhat cooperative with only 2 people not willing to complete it in the time we needed it done by, luckily we recovered the 2 incomplete questionnaire and handed them to two other people who completed them for us.


Collating the evidence was quite easy as some of my team members had done it before. Tally marks were made for each question and responding answers, I'd say the hardest part was just transferring the information from 1 sheet to 6 members.


In terms of skills I believe every team member produced a decent document, I was satisfied with my results excel document also. A decision wasn't made on who made the best document. 



The layout I chose was a general design with little blue shades over the options to make the document easier to read for people interested in the results of our survey. (Question Keys on the right should state Question 10 Keys instead of 8)

Outcome

Results of the survey showed that females aged 16-18 were are target audience and they indicated for a modern/futuristic setting with the main location centred around Roberts Park. The viewing platform most popular in our survey was YouTube, this makes sense as its the leading platform for viewing videos on the internet. Although females in this age range maybe our target audience, we can and probably will cater for a broader range of audiences.

Professional Example

I like to construct a modern looking park with similar architecture to either Valencian modern buildings or middle eastern architecture. The shapes and styles are completely unique to anything else in the world, the simple colours used also adds to their uniqueness. Here is a visual example of a 3D park that I'd like my team's replicate.
