Which of the following best describes how you read your design magazines?... Adrian Hanft http://www.beadesigngroup.com/blog/archives/2004/03/adrian_e_hanft_iii.php Designer survey number three turns its attention to graphic design magazines. Which of the following best describes how you read your design magazines? I can't wait to get my design magazines and always read them cover to cover. I occassionally skip an article here and there, but generally I read most of the magazine. Every once in a while I read an article, but usually I am just looking at the pictures so I can find inspiration and keep my eye on current trends. I may flip through one every once in a while, but I don't go out of my way to read them. Design magazines are dead. Long live design blogs! How many of your fonts did you pay for? tag:www.beadesigngroup.com,2006:/surveys//9.926 2006-10-23T20:30:17Z 2007-05-23T17:08:01Z The second survey question for graphic designers has to do with fonts.

Adrian Hanft http://www.beadesigngroup.com/blog/archives/2004/03/adrian_e_hanft_iii.php The second survey question for graphic designers has to do with fonts. Of the fonts in your personal collection, how many did you purchase? Tell the truth (and don't worry your identity will be completely annonymous) 100% Aside from the fonts that came with my computer and some free fonts, I have purchased every font I have ever used. 80-99% I try to purchase every font I use but I know that there are a couple typefaces that might have slipped through the cracks. 50-80% I purchase fonts when I can, but sometimes I have to fall back on my "illegal" font library. 15-50% I haven't been very good about purchasing my typefaces. Most of my fonts aren't payed for. 0-15% Sometimes I have no choice but to pay for a typeface, but otherwise I try to avoid purchasing fonts whenever possible.

Adrian Hanft http://www.beadesigngroup.com/blog/archives/2004/03/adrian_e_hanft_iii.php What do you think about the attention designism has gotten lately? Pick the answer that best matches your thoughts about designism:]]> I have no idea what they are talking about. I like the idea of using design to promote social change. Where do I sign up? The discussion is interesting, but the left wing politics turned me off to the whole thing. Designism is a waste of time and I don't think it will ever become a movement. Designism is a monumentally important design movement and it is imperative that we keep the discussion going. Design has always been about making the world a better place, so I don't really get the point of inventing the word "designism."
