January 29 – Process Books

A process book documents all major design decisions and steps in the design process. Summarize research methods and key findings. Explain how findings during discovery, critiques or user testing influenced how a particular deliverable or asset was revised. Remember to both show and tell.

Other members of your design studio who might need to update or revise your project or do a similar one in the future are the intended audience of this document.

Process book will be evaluated with the department’s process rubric. The process outlined in the book, the actual design of the book, and the writing in the book are all evaluated.
