For the last artefact, I published my survey and then tried to interpret the answers given. From the first twelve questions I highlighted comments that describe emotions or characteristic features to see the creation of a character in the minds of the observers, expanding my own perception of that process. By analysing the variety of responses that have to do with living attributes I then studied them more closely so as to have the chance to see how people project their self, creating a character to which they can relate.
Using a variety of online social networks like Twitter and Facebook and many different online forums, I created posts asking people to spare some time and directing them to the survey asking them to fill in as much as they like. I also sent a series of e-mails to friends, family and classmates asking them the same. I got 200 hits on the survey website with 15% providing complete responses. I then gathered all the answers and selected those that related to living attributes for further examination and interpretation. Through research I tried to develop an idea of the process by which people create characters through the process of anthropomorphism, the tendency to interpret things from a human point of view. It was from this angle that I interpreted the survey results. I presented the results transparently on the social networking sites and my blog, allowing not only my tutors but the respondents to question and challenge my honest interpretations. The results show my rationalisations and present points of view.
