The work of making
Heather McKinnon, Marcus Foth · 2017
In this paper we present a reflexive account of the development of two separate Research-through-Design studies. We draw from the experience of designing and creating two separate sets of design research artefacts that fit within a broader study into everyday domestic life. The paper's contribution is structured around three elements relating to the development of design research artefacts and the: 1) Participants; 2) Researchers; 3) Study. It further aims to emphasise the need for a range of documentation on the diverse approaches researchers take within their design processes.
