about the survey participants The research included within this book would not have been possible without the survey participants who contributed their time, opinions, and perspectives on today’s graphic design pedagogy and how they envision future change. Statistical information is based upon design professionals, educators, and students. Survey participants are diverse in geographic location, type of institution or business, and background experience. There is no design without discipline. There is no discipline without intelligence.
