Seeing Meaning: Exploring the role of visual elements in qualitative and quantitative research.

Your assignment

To investigate how visual means—such as icons, emojis, images and other graphical representations—can be used to enhance data collection, interpretation, and communication in qualitative and quantitative research. In this assignment you study visual semantics which involve the relationship between images and meaning; how specific visual cues, compositions and symbols convey messages in customer- and user-research. As result of your research, you propose (a concept for) a new, visual research tool.

Possible research questions can be:

• What are the benefits and limitations of using visual cues in data collection and analysis?
• Can visual elements improve the clarity, accessibility, or emotional depth of qualitative findings?
• How do visual elements (icons, emojis, images) influence participant expression and engagement in qualitative research?

You can help the CPP research group to expand its portfolio of research tools and conduct more diverse research. You will have the freedom to research, design, and evaluate your own ideas and proposals in a professional R&D environment with real customers and users.
