Research Topic 200 / 200

Interdisciplinary design outcomes are difficult to communicate

Research, form, interaction and service outputs are presented together without making their contributions clear.

Research Focus: Prototype Validation and Design ManagementProblem identification → Design validation → Implementation

Three-step solution method

  1. Structure the project narrative around problems, evidence, decisions, deliverables and validation.
  2. Show how each design outcome addresses a task and changes the way people use it.
  3. Test the materials with readers from different disciplines, then refine the information hierarchy.

Key Deliverables

  • Project Narrative
  • Deliverables Index
  • Reader Testing Notes

Verification Approach

Assess whether readers understand the challenge, see how the outcomes connect and recognize each discipline’s contribution.
