- Before we finish, I'd like to mention
some of the resources we've given you
in the "Exercise Files" folder.
There are many ways to continue your education
with design research, and many tools
to help you get started along the way.
I hope this course has ignited you to begin
practicing these ideas,
and continue to want to learn more.
We've broken our resources into a few
different categories to help you navigate them.
"Continuing Education", this is schools and institutions
that specialize in teaching design research.
There are many great institutions out there
that offer education and design research.
If you're interested in continuing with higher education,
this list can be a great place to begin your search.
"Publications", this is our favorite books
and various other publications that we continue
using and referring to throughout our practice.
There are fantastic books out there that cover everything
from research methods and tools,
to in-depth case studies about the impacts
research is having on the design world.
There's also many great resources,
like the IDEO toolkit, Stanford d.school webinars,
and a host of videos, discussions and more.
We've done our homework for you,
and we've posted up our absolute favorites
in a nice, simple list, I hope you enjoy them.
"Industry Leaders", people in practices
that are paving the way for design research.
I think you have to know the folks
who are pushing the boundaries of our profession,
and what research can do.
Now, this isn't to say that there aren't
small offices working to make the same, great achievements.
Nor, is this list exhaustive of all the large firms.
It's simply a snapshot of those who we believe
are the most influential leaders out there.
That's it for this course.
I hope you feel more prepared to begin practicing
design research with your design work.
I also hope that this course has inspired you
to either begin your design career with a new perspective,
or change the way you've been working.
Good luck!
