Methods play a prominent role in graphic design, a condition that, despite the transformations that are experienced, tends to lose relevance both in training and in teaching professional practice itself. Seeking to find empirical elements that allow addressing this situation, a qualitative study was carried out on graphic designers at a Mexican university, where the relevance of design methods in both training and professional practice was analyzed. The results point out that these and their use are valued by one sector, as well as considered ineffective by another, since they show a gap compared to the complexity of the environment. This makes it possible to mark possible trends from which to outline strategies that aim at improving designer training in universities and their possible impact on praxis.Downloads
