  A Comparison of Scientific Research method and Design Process models

  	Research method	Design process
  Preparation for research	Literature review	Study historic and contemporary examples, media
  Information gathering. Goal: to limit variables and identify problem	Collection of preliminary field data	Experimentation with materials and visual ideas
  Identification of problem and hypothesis	Information correlated; problem defined; educated guesses made; hypotheses stated; research design prepared	Design problem identified through visual analysis and recognition
  Exposition of facts and interpretation	Research plan is carried out; results are analyzed, plan is modified as necessary based on results; experiments are replicated	Work is created in a series, with each work suggesting problems to explore in subsequent work
  Presentation of results and findings	Publication of findings	Exhibition of work or production of design
