The first in this suit of classes is titled Design Research Methods 1. The course will be hosted by Yeh Studios in Los Angeles.

Design research is an imperative aspect of the product development process that generally doesn't get the regard that it deserves. In order to make informed and deliberate decisions, designers need to take the time to focus on research throughout the process. As Rob states, it is important to inform colleagues and clients why a designer is pursuing a particular design direction within projects.

The workshop will cover several paramount design research topics and implementation techniques. It will take place on Saturday, June 11th between the hours of 1-5PM. The registration fee is $139 for professionals and $79 for full time students. Visit the website for more details and registration information.
