Interpreting My Survey Results: Research

Interpreting my survey results and final artwork made up of the individual answer tiles chosen by the participant for each question.

The final artwork generated when a participant completes my survey could be seen as a "portrait" of that participant 
- a portrait of them in a certain light - their views / experiences of / opinions of psychoactive substances & creativity
- a unique individual representation based on their answers / beliefs / views and approach to the survey

....So I ask
What is a portrait? How does a creative, artist or designer go about creating a portrait and visually interpreting / communicating a true sense of ones subject?

Key things to consider:

  • What personality / portrait traits belong to my participant?
  • How do these link to / correlate with my survey findings + the participants unique survey results? 
  • What do my survey results mean? (in terms of my individual participants and links to)
  • How can i visually portray these results , capitalising on the individual participants personality and sense of self - described in the deeper meaning/response/approach to my survey? 
  • How do these results build a unique picture/portrait of my participant?
  • How will I visually portray this? Techniques? format? layout? Interaction?
  • How will I explain this?
  • How will this work in terms of my publication? - will explaining my survey within my publication result in too much text in my book? 
  • How can I narrow text down / be more cleaver about the way I display and portray the key survey aims, directions, info and results?
