>Dear madam, sir,

>I am a graduating Graphic Design student at Sint Lukas Brussels. In my graduation project, encompassing a web site and a thesis, I will be working on the topic of interfaces.

>In order to provide my thesis with a solid scientific basis, I am organising a survey among companies, institutions and individuals who are involved with interfaces. The purpose of this survey is to collect up-to-date information about the attitudes and opinions present among users and designers of interfaces. Thus, I hope to be able to base the conclusions and argumentations of my thesis on the real world situation rather than my subjective views. It is my intention to write a thesis that has a relevance to the industry and is a usable resource for interface designers.

>It would therefore be very valuable for my thesis if you could free the time to fill out these questions. If you know other people who could give a valuable contribution to my survey, as designer or user of interfaces, feel free to forward this message to them.

>I have attempted to limit the time necessary to fill out this survey to a minimum, by keeping the questions to-the-point and low in number. I have also provided a multiple-choice system for answering some questions, for your convenience. In total, the survey is divided into 5 sections, each comprising four to seven questions. There is an additional sixth section, for your additional opinions and comments.

>Feel free to contact me if you have any questions,
