You need to analyse your research to come to new conclusions. Why is it appropriate, what has it informed, what have you learnt from it, what new conclusions have come from it?
You can use your experiments and practical design as research.
'A range of research methods' you need different methods of gathering research:
Questionnaire: really think about what it is you want to know before asking questions
Its Nice That
Interviews
Books
Online
Documentaries
Existing work
Youtube
Pinterest (visual)
Audience (who are you targeting?): Own personal experiences
Observation (how are you interacting?)
Examples of contemporary graphic design (does not have to be visually relevant) Look outside of your topic!
Podcasts
Write down key words - what are you paying attention to?
Example process:
What do you already know?
Making work, observing, reflecting.
Welcoming tangents
Reflect, be critical
Research can be practical
Read and search what already exists
Be critical
A blog post about ethical considerations
Day task:
Working in a group conduct research into a random word from the random word generator
Your random word is your starting point
Deliver a visual research map evidencing your journey of research
Starting + ending words and the research in between
Most tangents, research methods, bizarre journey
