| Summary: | In everyday life, a person moves from one place to another according to his or
her needs. As designers, the understanding of user needs is very significant as part of the design
thinking process. The design thinking process enables the design practitioners to inspire, ideate, and
implement their product. In common practices, designers have different approaches in conducting
research by design. This paper explores the theories of mobilities and geosemiotics that can be
utilised as a framework in research, through the design practices of road sign design system. Most
designers conduct focus group, surveys, and interviews as part of the research and development.
The mobilities and geosemiotics paradigm gathers empirical and theoretical evidences that examine
the social and material phenomena. Through this paper, we also discuss the possibilities of using
the empirical methods from both theories that are relevant to the visual commmunication design
practices especially when designing road signs |
