Since its publication in 1970 Design methods has become a standard text and has appeared in many languages. It is used in the design profession (architecture, engineering, industrial design etc.) and also in new design areas (e.g. computer software design, artificial intelligence, creative psychology, environmental studies, and general design education). Though helpful to specialists who seek to broaden their approach, design methods are of most use when non-specialists attempt, in any area of life, a creative response to the new problems of the time.

Since its initial publication in 1970, Design Methods has been considered the seminal work on design methodology. Written by one of the founders of the design methods movement, it has been highly praised in international journals and has been translated into Japanese, Romanian, Polish, Russian, and Spanish.

John Chris Jones is best known as a founder of the design methods movement. The first professor of design at the Open University in London, he is also known for his work in ergonomics and futurology. In recent years, he has worked as a freelance lecturer and writer, independently adapting methods from the "time arts," including performance and video, to the design process. During his career, Jones has published over 200 articles. In addition, he has experimented with publishing through small presses and in new formats, such as microfilm, photocopies, and computer disks. Samples of his recent writing, what he calls virtual fiction, appear in the "imaginary preludes" to this edition.
