We are recruiting people with visual design skills to participate in a research study. Participants do not need to be experts - anyone working on a visual design that is personally meaningful such as a website would  be welcome to participate. The purpose of the project is to study the feedback that people receive from online platforms and to learn how to build future technologies that improve this experience.  We will pay $70 for your participation and will step you through the study.

The study has two phases.  First, you will need to either create a visual design (e.g. logo, Web page, poster, etc.) for a problem of your own choosing or submit a visual design from an ongoing project. Already completed projects that you are no longer working on does not match our research criteria.  After submitting the design, our feedback collection site will help you get feedback from different online platforms. We will later ask you to rate the perceived quality of the feedback received and discuss your perceptions of the feedback.

Second, you will need to make a second iteration on the design according to the feedback received from the first phase. Again, our feedback collection site will help you get feedback from different online platforms. We will then ask you to rate the perceived quality of the feedback received and discuss your perceptions of the feedback and how it might be best integrated into the design process. The follow-up ratings and interview should take no more than 90 minutes.



 In order to participate in this study, we ask that you satisfy the following criteria:

* You must be at least 18 years of age.

* You must be willing to create or provide two iterations of an ongoing design project.

* You must have an account on at least one social media site such as Facebook or Twitter.

* You must be willing to post and allow us to post your designs to several online platforms. The postings can be deleted once the study is complete.

* You must allow us to maintain a copy of the designs and feedback for research purposes.



The study has been approved by the University of Illinois Institutional Review Board. We will provide $70 for participation, $25 for participating in the first phase and $45 for the second phase. The gratuity will be provided through Paypal, so you will need to provide your Paypal address. If you are interested in participating or want further information, please contact Grace Yen ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>). I would be more than happy to provide further information.

Best,
