Editorial: Roxburgh, M. Nini, P.J. Sharpening One's Axe: Making a Case for a Comprehensive Approach to Research in the Graphic Design Process pp.1-10. keywords: problem-solving, user-centred, process models, planning models, research methods The goal of this paper is to present the basic information needed for graphic designers to consider incorporating the demonstrated research techniques in their work. It is my hope that more graphic designers will pursue a research-based approach to the process of creating appropriate and effective communications for the various users and audience groups for which they design.
