7.1

Employ research methods when planning a design project, including data collection and analysis. Synthesize research to present appropriate precedents for the development of a project and articulate logical rationale for the use of chosen precedents. Create a detailed presentation or written report, citing evidence from research, which summarizes design decisions in light of research findings. For example, conduct a survey to determine the target audience for a given company branding package, and select colors and symbols based on the target audience.
