Research for Designers

A Guide to Methods and Practice

About this book

Design is everywhere. It influences how we live, what we wear, how we communicate, what we buy, and how we behave.

To design for the real world and define strategies rather than just implement them, you need to learn how to understand and solve complex, intricate and often unexpected problems. Research for Designers is the guide to this new, evidence-based creative process for anyone doing research in Design Studies or looking to develop their design research skills.

The book:

  • Takes an organized approach to walking you through the basics of research.
  • Highlights the importance of data.
  • Encourages you to think in a cross-disciplinary way.

Including interviews with 10 design experts from across the globe, this guide helps you put theory into practice and conduct successful design research.
