A Pilot Study to Investigate the Disconnection between Researched
Theory and Creative Practice in Visual Communication Research Projects
are a useful way to aid the novice design researcher link their existing design activity with
research activity and emphasize the relationship between these two.”
As such the long-term goal of the study is to provide a) an indication of the nature of
undergraduate research in art and design, and b) a guide to generic research skills in art
and design education. Future research will be focusing on a more in-depth study that
enables a deeper critical engagement and holistic understanding of visual communication
undergraduate research.
