Hi Jenna Maybe not exactly what you had in mind.  But maybe of interest. I have recently put together a memory box. With the draughting  and drawing equipment i have used over the years. I now use a CAD system. So they are all redundant now.  Maybe other people have similar collections.

I'd like to get my hot little hands on that memory box  - not that  I have ever used drafting equipment,  but - it'd be something to have a go at....  This request from a student is the second we've had (this year)  and the questions seem to be identical; so I don't know that I'd be expecting anything to eventuate from it: art materials may reflect greater ease of use,  but only if manufacturers can see a profit in developing them.  However!   I'll do the survey: anything to help someone trying to enter this deeply unremunerative field....

Sadly a search for "forms.gle safe" came up with some warnings about harvesting email data, although it can be used for bona fide surveys. Unless I see a completed profile, or an explanation of which course at which institution, then I'm likely to treat these requests with high caution. Even if it was good, the questions are useful for corporate marketing

Agreed.  Jenna Most people on this forum will be reluctant to click on a link such as yours. No offence but we don’t know you and some have been burnt before!

All - it's safe enough: but I do have paid-for and advanced internet protection, recommended by an IT professional: I don't blame anyone for caution, though -  I wouldn't take even my protection for granted.

No problem - these questionnaires from art and design students tend to be very similar, presumably because of the brief they're given: we had a couple last year.  I usually complete them - and haven't been bitten yet!
