Primary Research- Interviews

I have decided to email various creatives, design studios and print shops to ask them their opinions on publication in the digital era. I have made various questions to send them, each different depending on who I am talking to. I am hoping to get some replies! Here are the questions that I have sent


ANDY GREY / COLOURS MAY VARY 

Hello! 
I am a third year Graphic Design student from Leeds College Art and I am 
currently writing my dissertation on publication in the digital era. I watched 
Made You Look at Hyde Park picture house, about creativity in the digital era, 
which is extremely relevant to my dissertation. I found the interview after 
interesting, so I would like to ask you some further questions to help me gather 
some research for my dissertation. 

My dissertation question is:
What impact has the digital era had on publication today?
What is your opinion on this?

Further Questions:

Do you think print has more value than digital?
How and what makes you select the magazines in Colours May Vary?
As technology becomes a bigger part of our lives, do you think digital will ever 
replace print? 

I would like you to answer these questions in as much detail as possible please!

Many thanks
