Description

“Today, designers design products and services, processes and organizations; craft skills no longer suffice. We wish to discover, define and solve problems based upon evidence. We wish to demonstrate the validity of our claims. We need a guide to design research that can educate students and be a reference for professionals. And here it is: a masterful book for 21st century designers.”

Don NormanProfessor and Director of Design Lab, University of California San Diego, and former Vice President, Advanced Technologies, Apple

Design is far and wide: it influences how we live, what we wear, how we communicate, what we buy, and how we behave. In order for designers to design for the real world, defining strategies somewhat than just implementing them, they wish to learn to keep in mind and solve complex, intricate, and ceaselessly unexpected problems. This book is a guide to this new creative process. With this book in hand, students of design will:

  • understand and apply the vocabulary and strategies of research methods
  • learn how to adapt themselves to unfamiliar situations
  • develop techniques for collaborating with non-designers
  • find and use facts from diverse sources with a purpose to prove or disprove their ideas
  • make informed decisions in a systematic and insightful way
  • use research tools to find new and unexpected design solutions

Research for Designers is an essential toolkit for a design education and a will have to-have for every design student who is on the brink of tackle their own research.
