Request for someone to draw 4 simple cartoons for my Master's research project.

Hi there! Thanks so much for responding.

I don't know how much or how little you want to know about it right now, but here is a brief summary (please feel free to ask any questions!): The project is designed to examine "metaperceptions" between students identified with social, emotional, and behavioural difficulties (SEBD) and their teachers. A metaperception is an individual’s perception of how he or she is viewed by others, or “what do I think you are thinking about me?” Previous research in social psychology has shown that metaperceptions can affect both relationship formation and the subsequent quality of relationships between individuals. Student-teacher relationships have been shown to be an important factor for student success, but many teachers report having difficulty forming strong relationships with students identified with SEBD.

In the project, I will have 4 student-teacher pairs. The students choose the teacher with whom they want to participate (this teacher is one that the students believe to have a good relationship). All the students and teachers are going to complete an initial interview with me this week, and then do an online diary (where they will also caption the cartoons) through Tumblr for 3 weeks before doing a final interview. The final interview will focus on what they have written in their diary/how they captioned the cartoons.

I want the cartoons to reflect what the participants say in their first interview, but basically, they will need to be fairly neutral-looking, a secondary school student and a teacher in a few situations with neutral faces (for example, sitting at a desk, or looking at a laptop, or handing back a paper, etc.). They would ideally be racially/gender diverse as well.

How long does it take you to create something like this? For instance, if I sent you a list of the cartoons I need tomorrow at around this time, how long would it take you to create 4 cartoons?

Also, what kind of compensation would be suitable for you? I am pretty broke, but would want to thank you somehow!!

Thank you so much again for your response. I am very excited at the possibility to work with you!

Lauren
