- Google definition.
Case studies are an important form of research as they allow a certain amount of depth to be gathered around a specific person or subject. This intense gathering of information is a way to gain a profound amount of specific detail and allows the subject under scrutiny to give ideas, inspiration or even motivation to the researcher - especially in creative subjects.
The only downside to performing a case study is that there is no room for generalization. Due to the fact that each individual and/or subject is different, taking its own distinct route, a single general idea cannot be placed upon it. This means that the research can only reflect the specific person or subject alone.
As a creative worker it is important for my own personal gain and perspective to research and acknowledge the differences, similarities and individual routes each personally inspiring creative worker has experienced over the course of their careers in order to understand and further my own potential success in the industry.
