Description:

Marketing will focus on user testing, market research, and pitch development for clients and design teams. These methods are used in many product development approaches in contemporary practice. Design Research is a foundational course focusing on methods of incorporating research into practice for designers. Research is used to establish territories, address user groups, investigate new technologies, and speculation futures for design. In this course, students will develop an understanding of specific methods for investigating, synthesizing, and narrating design.
