Hawthorne Community Center
Participatory Design Research | 2010                                                     Project Case Study »

Through a partnership between Hawthorne Community Center and the Herron Visual Communication MFA program, our class was asked to identify ways for improving the efficacy of the services and programs offered by the community center. To achieve this goal we drew upon participatory design research methodologies in order to understand and assess existing services from the end-user's perspective. To present our collective findings, we produced a modular research document that could be utilized in individual sections at the program-level, or as a whole, for higher-level directors to assess their system of services and programs.
