Default Quick Survey! :D

Hey guys, i come from over the Fiesta side of the forum and i was wondering if i can get some help from you Ford Fans!

Well, long story short, i go to Monash Caullfield studying Industrial Design.
i am designing a Police car for a future scenario for my final year project and i need to hear some feed back on how you see current police cars.

So if you guys have the time, head over to the link and help me fill out a short survey.

Thanks heaps in advance guys!

Hmm, just did you quiz. I think some of the questions are a set-up,

eg. 14. If you could pick one animal to represent the Police Force, what would it be?

C'mon? really, what do you reckon people will say for that?

haha.. well thats what i wanna find out.... ive got a couple of different answers. In some ways, a car can always be related back to an animal, so by doin this question, i may have a base to start my design if you know what i mean

oh, thanks heaps for doing the survey man! i think youre the first one!

Sorry mate but your survey isn't set up very well. You have a question asking if you find them intimidating with a yes or no response and then the nest questions are about how intimidating it is and what part you find most intimidating etc.

Yeah I got pretty sick of all the questions about intimidation. It's just a car how intimidating can it be?

Hey guys,

Thanks for helping me out even if you took your time to have a look at it.. i knows its pretty annoyin doing surveys.

With all those questions, yeah, it might seem a bit repetitive, but it will all help me in the end.

Ill be happy to post my progression of my designs throughout the year if you guys want and youll understand more about it.

Also, i prob should of posted up my possible scenario before but ill post it up now for people who would want to read more on when and where my design will be placed.

Approx: 200 words.

In the year 2012, the world faces a crisis point where we will have to make rapid and dramatic changes to the way we live due to the decades of abuse and overdependence on fossil fuels. It is only in this moment of desperation and change that we are forced to make a giant leap with a revolutionary new vehicle to ensure the survival of mankind.

To accomplish these difficult goals within a short timeframe, world leaders have banned all private and commercial use of fossil fuels and heavy industry, relocating all funding from traditional industries to the rapid development of promising sustainable technologies. With this massive increase funding, development of promising sustainable technologies that are not yet ready for economical mass manufacture will need to be fast-tracked.
However, in this moment of change, the population will be thrown in chaos by the lack of basic human needs such as food, fuel and drinking water. The National Guard will need to be called in to control the population and restore order. The creation of a green, revolutionary vehicle will need to be created for the Police to protect, inspire and give hope in this time of crisis and provide the means to a better future.

Because of this crisis point, the human race is forced to change and change rapidly.



I hope you enjoyed the read and if you have questions ask away.

Just remember, its a possible scenario with some evidence behind it, even though it will be a slim chance.

cheers guys!

b.

Just finished the questions.

I have had to do the same for my design projects while at Uni, I studied Design and Technology.

Good luck with it, be sure to post your design concepts when you get to that stage

Cheers,

Jason

Done all the questions.

I believe the questions were relatively down to the point.

Interesting survey, I agree with some members that the questions are bit limited in answers.

Done, but I wanted to put great white shark as the animal that represents the Police, but I wasn't sure if it was a mammal or not :(
