Design Research Methods

I’m becoming obsessed! I love researching new ways to research. New methods are like new machines which can generate information if constructed and operated correctly. I think I am starting to be able to answer the question, “So, what are your interests?”, more accurately, specifically, and enthusiastically!

I love discovering new ways to pump people for information! :)

Here is a chart of 72 methods that I researched. I have organized them in a way where they are classified and labeled for easy decision making. For example, if I need an invasive, collaborative method for gathering data, I just have to look at the chart and pick out a method associated with the corresponding colors, (Violet, Aqua, and Red). I know I am still learning these methods and I am sure i will need to make changes to it as i learn, so If I change it I will repost an updated version. The link to the better quality PDF view is at the bottom.
