Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
We aim to discuss how designers’ design concepts through outputs (design artefacts) produced during the New Product Development (NPD) process such as sketches and models might be impacting upon cross-functional NPD team members. We will use a case study of a recent international student project to explore this issue. In conclusion, we propose that design students, the emerging design professionals of the future, should be made aware of how their design ideas are communicated to and interpreted by others during NPD and the implications this has upon the development team members.
