By engaging in competitive intelligence, customer profiling, color and trend forecasting, etc., designers are able to bring something to the table that reflects a commercial value for the client beyond a well-crafted logo or brochure. Although scientific and analytical in nature, research is the basis of all good design work. This book provides a comprehensive manual for designers on what design research is, why it is necessary, how to do research, and how to apply it to design work.

The world needs beautiful design. But aesthetics are inherently subjective. In Design Currency, authors Jenn and Ken Visocky O'Grady show designers how to understand and speak about the value of their design work in terms that their business partners will both understand and respect. A veritable survival guide for designers, Design Currency will empower designers to do their jobs with less pushback on design decisions, enable designers to get involved earlier in the creation process, make it easier for them to justify their fees, and possibly keep their jobs from being out-sourced or even crowd-sourced.

The heavily illustrated text is rigorous yet readable and offers a single, must-have, reference to anyone interested in information design or any of its related disciplines such as interaction design and information architecture, information graphics, document design, universal design, service design, map-making and wayfinding.
