Useful and interesting Kimberley Crofts As a new university design teacher I found this book quite helpful in the initial stages of curriculum planning. The book has a wide variety of essays and case studies touching most areas of communication and multimedia design.The specific examples of how other teachers have structured their classes is inspiring, in particular the case studies in the back section titled "Human Centred Design".The extensive and descriptive "Cultural Studies Bibliography" is a wonderful resource for further study into the areas of d. Great book for students I'm a communication design major and this text was required for a class. I actually ended up reading the book cover to cover and have continued to reference it throughout my education. It will change your perspective on what design can be as well as offer inspiration and teach methodology for design research. The topics are wide-ranging and articles are well-written and engaging. I love this book!. "Five Stars" according to Kenneth Lundgren. :)

Where visual communication was once informed by a designer's creative intuition, the proliferation of specialized audiences now calls for more research-based design processes.Designers who ignore research run the risk of becoming mere tools for communication rather than bold voices. Each author outlines methods in which research has aided their designwhether by investigating how senior citizens react to design aesthetics, how hip hop culture can inuence design, or how design for Third World nations is affected by cultural differences. In an age of globalization and connectivity, the idea of "mainstream culture" has become quaint. Consequently, the discipline of graphic design has undergone a sea change. Finally, Design Studies is rounded out by ve annotated bibliographies to further aid designers in their research. The texts presented here make a strong argument for performing rigorous experimentation and analysis. Contributors also outline inspired ways in which design educators can teach research methods to their students. This compr
