Designers contacts

Because I changed my proposal for the project, some of my work was wasted, I had been gathering contacts of educational figures to contribute knowledge, project ideas etc, but now because of the change I have been collecting designers contacts instead, I will do this untill I have a spread of designers from different aspects of design, then I will send them all out a contact asking to include them in the magazine in the form of a profile or interview. The wasted time couldn't have been avoided I'm glad I changed the project idea.

As for the list of contacts, which is growing all the time, this won't be used untill the design specification is handed over, as its the priority. This task has been done instead of high agenda its been done during my time spent on the computer in general, I visit alot of designer portfolios, blogs etc, so its been an easy task, just jotting done names numbers etc.

The kinda of email will be just something allong the lines of asking if they would like to feature in a magazine aimed at the early creatives, just answering a few questions a profile about your design. Who am I, a sentence will do, Then say more about the magazine what it covers whats its purpose and follow up with I would like you to feature within the magazine even if you can just give a word or two of advice to young creatives.

tadaa, well a bit better written though, but nothing written to formal, I always get a better response back by email when I'm a little more human in a email.

The designers I hope to feature, will be designers that specialize in

webdesign
experiemental design
game design
photographers
illustrators
video design
packaging design
Graphic design
animators
character design
identity design
advertising

Fields that primary school kids can relate to, product design for example less so, as its something a primary school kids might not have the means to experiement or explore. Video design I have included as primary school kids are very aware of video, even if the issue is mainly about showing how the mtv videos are designed, or the tv adverts are done.

I must admit I have more illustrators and graphic designers contacts than any other designers. Though graphic design is a good type of design for getting interest, as its so relatable, drawing isn't hard I would say but time consuming, and children can see that and are more willing to give it a go.
