Methodology There are numerous design methodologies used to channel communication: human centered research, data driven research, experimental studies, and so on. To create new communication tools, experimental studies are relevant toward developing ideas step by step through the form making process. Personally, I experimented different methodologies but in the end all of these experiments were a next step, and a reference for further directions in the future. “Experimental study is a very rigorous exercise that allows a designer to confidently engage in work whose results are unpredictable.� Matin Venezky Experimental study doesn’t have final and concrete results. It is an openended design practice that is designed to lead to next levels of inquiry. It is true that experimental study often causes designers to have fear of not knowing what can be created in the process. However, processes of experimental study have its own value for design academia.

Questioning > Setting up a condition > Running the process > Observing > Analyzing results > Finding solution > Questioning for next step

The following was my experimental study. Questioning > Setting up a condition > Running the process > Observing > Analyzing results > Finding solution > Questioning for next step For my Trace the Memory project, the above process was repeated in its entirety four times. My goal of the case study was to complete a process, but I plan to continue my studies in an experimental manner in addition to this.
