Assignment 3





One again time we were met up to talk about our subjects which is we want to choose for our dissertation. We all had a talk about what we wanting to do and everyone put in their thoughts and helped each other to define in our area.

I found it very helpful for us to better understand our choose and found which one we should do better in the future. I think others people was also quick enjoy it.

It was interesting to hear the pros and cons of each individuals subject after the wiki entry was done. And also interesting to see who was changing there topic and why.

For this assignment I do not want to change my topic because I think research is very important for graphic design. I need it for my every project in my future design life. I think research is the first step for every work and it is quite important. After the group comments I developing my topic and i do a new map for it.

I want develop my graphic design at the card design in the future. I will use the research ways to design the card. I like the card design because I think it is more interesting and less limit in it.

Graphic design

Definition

The best design outstrip its before by using new ideas, but use the research to solve the problem that is one way of them but not new. At the same time, through research to solve the problem is worth to do that we can know what is the aimers’ need? I think that is really important for the designer and why need research and design. After the new idea, we should make an emphasis plan for the research project and research programme setting out the wide-ranging of data collection and analysis to be employed and solving how the research the way to dispose of a situation address the specific aims and objectives of study, and whether the research issues are theoretical or policy-oriented. Design research inquires into the process of design in all its fields. It is consequently related to design methods in ordinary or for particular disciplines. In this way we can better understand and to improve the design process. After the collection, collates, analyses and exploits date. We can know is the aimer need but not what is the aimer want. We often mistaken about what they really want. That is why we need the research and design.

History

I find the Design Research Society was found in 1966 in UK. First of all, the first of the design method meeting was conduct in London at 1962, making it the core of common interests in the process to determine whom the new method.

For the purpose of the draft resolution and as the rules embodied in its first statement is to promote 'research and many areas of research to the design process, all’ this meeting to establish a new interdisciplinary field and is a mutual learning community. The draft resolution was promoted the contributing to a one-day series of meeting and quarterly newsletter to members the purpose.

But after a few years, due to resume publication of journals in vein and the same fruitless discussion of internal dispute led to the social objectives of the stranded. This organization on the international was conference. One meeting about the design participation was hold in Manchester in 1971. ‘At that conference a meeting of DRS members led to a call for a special general meeting of the Society, and to changes of officers and council members.’ (www.designnresearchsociety.org). Since then there is a series of meetings held, from the 20th 70’s to 80’s: in London (1973), Portsmouth (1976, 1980), Istanbul (1978) and Bath (1984).

Also in the mid 70's design methodology with the DRS Group, headquartered in the United States, including the joint publication of magazines, design research and methods. Late 70 with enough passion, and the evidence from around the world DRS design research activities, in order to successfully close their own proposals and news magazines IPC (Articles CD now Seoul). Design research, design, International Journal of Research, launched in 1979.

I find a story about the research and design history. This is a story of Vonnie lee that is 29th. He was a author meets at opportunity house that is an agency designed for the rehabilitation of adults with mental retardation and psychiatric disorders. He just talk about very narrow strictures of his life when the author find him and let him to show the people him life. All his talking is about the ‘a description of the bus rote.’ That is quit interesting. So the author asks him why he is like the bus so much. He says:’ if I was a big shot, I’d be on the bus right now.’ After the research the author was explaining his life is: ‘the bus trip-survives the vicissitudes of his life.’ By the research study is benefits the ‘in-depth autobiographical interview methodology’.

Research and design

Research and design have 5 different tradition of analytic table of content:

-Biography

-Phenomenology

-Grounded Theory

-Ethnography

-Case Study

Between the theory and research. Research and design like a choices, influenced the aims, the research questions and the styles/tradition of the research.

Biography, phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography and case study are all of them research have 3 step. First, I think we should use of sociological interpretive approach. Find the key books and make the reference to know what is the definition, origin, variants, procedures, and challenges then use of theory to research questions and individual to be studied. Analyze and rapport issues to make the forms of data (data recording, field issues, and storage) to analysis. Then writing a biography belong the standards of quality and verification. The end case study “turned” into a biography.

How to do a good research? First, choose a qualitative study because of the nature of the research question, like how, why, when and what. Second, select a qualitative study because the topic needs to be explored and develop it. Third, use a qualitative study because of the topic need to present a detailed view. Fourth, select a qualitative in order to study individuals in their natural field. Fifth, choose a qualitative similar because of interest in writing of style, the personal pronoun. Sixth, employ a qualitative study because of extensive data collection in the field and detailed date analysis of information. Seventh, choose a qualitative similar because audiences are receptive to qualitative research. Eighth, the finally, employ a qualitative approach to emphasize the research’s role.

How to phases in design study? First, the research make a general plans to study. Second, some issues are doubtable for the qualitative research. Third, consider from the traditional format of research. After research we show the persons the process of collection data and analyzing them to shape the narrative. ‘We tell a story. We present the study following the traditional approach to scientific research (i.e, problem, question, method, findings).’
