设计可以被看作是一系列的决策，这些决策是由设计师从环境中收集的信息所告知的，并转化为可操作的知识。庞大的数量和多样性的可用信息迫使设计师强加结构上所需的信息，这反过来又可能影响后续的设计活动。为了更好地了解信息如何影响设计决策，本研究通过招募8名专业人员（4名来自软件设计和4名来自平面设计）进行3小时的设计会议，调查设计师的信息组织行为与其产生的想法之间的关系。他们被要求使用所提供的信息为设计问题（减少内布拉斯加州的行人事故）产生想法。结果表明，设计师结构的信息在三种不同的方式（集群，关系，巢），和设计师的背景和组织战略显示不同的角色在他们的想法中产生的功能。
Design can be seen as a series of decisions that are informed by information that the designer has gathered from the environment and transformed into actionable knowledge. The sheer volume and variety of available information compels designers to impose structure upon the desired information, which in turn may affect subsequent design activities. To better understand how information may inform design decisions, this study investigates the relationship between designers’ information organization behaviors and their generated ideas by recruiting eight professionals (four from software design and four from graphic design) for individual 3-hour design sessions. They were asked to generate ideas for a design problem (reducing pedestrian accidents in Nebraska) using the provided information. Results reveal that designers structured the information in three different ways (Clusters, Relations, and Nests), and both designer background and organizational strategy display different roles in the features generated in their ideas.
