Today we show you the first result of the Digital cartography of international design project, developed using digital methods of research. This first exploration provides a general insight into the world of design, showing related actors and issues emerging from the research on the web.

The generic query “design” on google.com produces 26 valid results out of the first 50. These selected results come from well founded sources and highlight different issues and themes related to design, providing a categorical description of design through entries in menus, tags and sections in the websites. The sources are mostly blogs, design firms, portals, communities and ezines, while the number of universities, non-profit organizations and museums is limited. In particular the first results for universities and design firms are after the 20th position in the ranking on google.com.
