In this paper we describe the findings from experiments that were conducted to test two hypotheses on the behavior of designers when collaborating around an interactive tabletop. The experiments were conducted using the tabletop, DiamondTouch. In order to test the hypotheses, two conditions of the tabletop display were used -- distinctive and non-distinctive, which involved three different tasks within each condition. The findings support the hypotheses and interestingly revealed how the designers continuously restructured the organisation of the images on the workspace and created new external resources for action, which assisted their task significantly.
