Title: Exploring the user experience and (unmet) needs of microstock stakeholders.
Post by: Sepia100 on April 04, 2019, 06:09
Dear forum members,

For my master Human Centerd Multimedia, I would like to find out more about the user experience and unmet needs microstock contributors and microstock buyers have. Therefore I made an inquiry for both parties. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post this here, but I will try to benefit the community by sharing the outcomes.

I think I will find mostly contribtors on this forum.
You will find my contributor inquiry here:

https://forms.gle/EvmKXU45ZZJaNzU37 (https://forms.gle/EvmKXU45ZZJaNzU37)

And if there are any buyers of microstock, please go here:

Your help is very much appreciated.  :)

Does money count as an unmet need?  ;D

Keeping the thread and request for information active = take the poll please.  ;D

I'm kind of wondering what the results will show?

"How many contributors accepted to fill a form

without any visible permission of logo usage

or approval of the brands mentally mentioned?"

:P :P :P

(If I fail as a contributor,
I will apply for a curator position!
...Or for the legal team!... hahaha!)

It's odd, because I have helped out some students in a totally unrelated to stock area of my life, and the real name of the student has always been given, and the first page when clicking on the request link is always a university page with full details of the student, their faculty and director of studies contact details, full details of what the survey  is about and why it had been deemed necessary, assurances of privacy/anonymity measures, a statement that says you can opt out of the study at any stage and an expected date for the completed study and details of how to access the info once it's finished.
That is over at least three universities that I can recall, and the general rubric has been the same on them all, so is presumably accepted practice with academic surveys.
But here ... an anonymous poster and no official status.
Hmmm.

Also a good point!

You are using this forum to get what you need, why not post updates here? Now you are asking for emails? And maybe the details of who you are and the gist of the survey, so we know before we go clicking links? Your real name? It’s like the other guy posting here, asking people for links to their best-selling images.  ::)
