Design practice-led research results in a creative output such as a design project, a portfolio of theoretical designs or crafted objects, or an exploration of a practical aspect design technology. This creative output is based on a traditional research process that involves identifying research questions, undertaking a literature review (which may include visual art and design objects and projects), gathering and analysing data, and articulating the original contribution that the creative output makes. The purpose of the exegesis is for a clear articulation in words of this research process.
