- Read very much like a textbook with consistent layout i.e. methods were ordered alphabetically and each spread consisted of an explanation and exercise
- Will be good to have on hand as reference/inspiration for trying different methods as the need arises
- Inclusion of case studies at the end was good as it brought methodology to life (could have done with more examples)

- Got a lot out of the introduction where it talks about the concept of the whole design cycle, and how it can be the basis of all design
- didn't read through the entire thing since it's more of a reference
- would be nice to own it as a reference
