Review:
Design is everywhere: it influences how we live, what we wear, how we communicate, what we buy, and how we behave. In order for designers to design for the real world, defining strategies rather than just implementing them, they need to learn how to understand and solve complex, intricate and often unexpected problems. This book is a guide to this new creative process. With this book in hand, students of design will understand and apply the vocabulary and strategies of research methods, learn how to adapt themselves to unfamiliar situations, develop techniques for collaborating with non-designers, find and use facts from diverse sources in order to prove or disprove their ideas, make informed decisions in a systematic and insightful way, use research tools to find new and unexpected design solutions. Author: Gjoko Research for Designers is an essential toolkit for a design education and Muratovski a must-have for every design student who is getting ready to tackle their ISBN: 9781446275139 own research.

Page 20 Volume 5, Issue 1 Article: 6 reasons why Open Source Software is good for your business.
Open source software has become more frequently used by many business and government organizations for example the Linux Operating System. So what makes open source solutions so increasingly popular?
Rather, free and open source software (FOSS) holds numerous other advantages for businesses. Below are six reasons why open source software can be good for your business.
Security The security of the software used in any business is very crucial. It is used to protect, process and store your company’s intellectual property. The nature of open source software has the code it comprises of visible to all. This means large open source projects are frequently reviewed by the community, allowing security vulnerability to be spotted and resolved quickly and effectively. Bugs in open source software also tend to get fixed immediately. Quality Open source is always about improving technology in real-time. With the industry’s finest talent lending support. Over the years, the always-active open-source communities which are one of the primary reasons for the tech’s success. Customizability and Flexibility With open source, business users can take a piece of open source software and tweak it to suit their needs. Since the code is open, it's simply a matter of modifying it to add the functionality they want. Along similar lines, service providers are able to customize their software to their needs, and the market's needs. This customization also helps companies to differentiate themselves from competitors. Interoperability If you don't want to be limited by proprietary data formats, open source software is definitely the way to go. Within this spirit of collaboration, interoperability can be much more effectively dealt with. Cost/ Freedom Open source sticks to a very non-commercial vibe, so most projects don’t ask for fees. In the commercial world, vendors have control over the code and costs. In open source, the code is modified and to suit your needs and within your budget. Try Before You Buy Yes, you can do a pilot test as well for proprietary software. If you go for open source, unlimited functions and testing during test period is control of your own acceptance test. You can create different test unlikely proprietary software you have to follow their manuals.
