Design Elements

Design Elements

• Design elements are the building blocks of any design, and they include line, tone, color, texture, shape, and form.
• Each design element has unique qualities and can be used in various ways to serve different design needs.
• The selection and use of design elements are guided by design principles.

Design Principles

• Design principles are ways of arranging or organizing design elements to create a cohesive design.
• They guide the selection and use of design elements in any design.

Design Thinking

• Design thinking is a process for creative problem solving that involves understanding human needs, technological feasibility, and economic viability.
• The 5 stages of the design thinking process are: Empathizing, Defining, Ideating, Prototyping, and Testing.

Research Methodology

• Research is a systematic effort to gain new knowledge and contribute to the advancement of existing knowledge.
• Objectives of research include gaining familiarity with new insights, accurately portraying characteristics, analyzing frequency, and examining hypotheses.
• Research Methods refer to the techniques used to conduct research, while Research Methodology is the way in which research problems are solved systematically.

Significance of Research

• Research promotes scientific and inductive thinking, and it develops logical habits of thinking and organization.
• There are three types of research: Qualitative, Quantitative, and Mixed.

Qualitative vs. Quantitative Research

• Qualitative research uses non-numerical observations to answer "Why?" questions.
• Quantitative research uses numerical data to answer "How?" questions.

How to Make a Good Research

• Good research is systematic, logical, empirical, and replicable.
• A good research follows a structured process with specified steps, guided by rules of logical reasoning, and based on concrete data.

Research Design Process

• The research design process involves: defining research problems, reviewing literature, formulating hypotheses, designing research, collecting and analyzing data, and interpreting and reporting results.
