Shown here is part of my survey on Survey Monkey, as you can see most of the questions are multiple choice, although some have been left with comment boxes so that I can get varied answers on questions. I didn't want to limit my findings to just specifically the questions that I asked, I wanted to be able to give people the option to express how they actually felt.

Even though models lately have been under scrutiny to maintain a healthy body image, it is still apparent that thin models can still be perceived as controversial in the media. 


I have created a group on Facebook to create interest on my given question, I have included close friends, class mates and any of my Facebook friends that I feel would have an insight into my subject field. I have found this useful as it had helped to promote my surveys and to generate interest but haven't received back amazing feedback. I feel that with using Facebook members of groups need constant updates to generate interest and to get a variety of different feedbacks.

I have found an interesting article about 2012 fashion week and guidelines that have been introduced to ensure that all models are over the age of 16, I wonder now what people think about designers using children in campaigns and catwalks; and whether this promotes a healthy body image.
