To focus my research I have sent out the following questions to a few designers. I changed some of these slightly depending on what kind of work they do.
1) What first made you interested in graphic design, in particular typography and layout?
2) How did you start out in graphic design, and get yourself noticed in the industry?
3) What does an average day consist of for you?
4) Who/What has been your inspiration for your design work?
5) How much does budget play a part in your design process?
6) How important is the cover of a publication as opposed to the design of the inner spreads?
7) When you develop a design, in what order do you undertake a project and then in which order do you work?
8) What attributes should a good layout have and why?
9) What considerations need to be made when developing a layout for editorial design?
10) Which publications do you think are particularly well designed?
11) Where do you see editorial design heading in the future? Has there been a shift towards web-based publications and what is your opinion on this?
12) Anything else you’d like to add, or any other advice you could give to a budding designer?
