Abstract
Studies of creativity have shown that idea generation within groups produces fewer novel ideas. To address this, we examine ways to stimulate the creative process in idea generation groups, and contribute the new technique of “brainsketching with context cues”, which purposefully adds contextual input into the sketching activity. We build on the existing brainsketching technique, which promotes idea sharing during sketching, by adding context cards into the process. To investigate if sketching with contextual input supports creativity in the design process, we analysed six design sessions with 15 young Interaction Designers. Our findings show that contextual input enhances both individual and group creativity by supporting idea and information exchange in the sketching activity, increasing diversity and novelty of design outcomes.
期刊介绍：
Design Studies is a leading international academic journal focused on developing understanding of design processes. It studies design activity across all domains of application, including engineering and product design, architectural and urban design, computer artefacts and systems design. It therefore provides an interdisciplinary forum for the analysis, development and discussion of fundamental aspects of design activity, from cognition and methodology to values and philosophy.
Design Studies publishes work that is concerned with the process of designing, and is relevant to a broad audience of researchers, teachers and practitioners. We welcome original, scientific and scholarly research papers reporting studies concerned with the process of designing in all its many fields, or furthering the development and application of new knowledge relating to design process. Papers should be written to be intelligible and pertinent to a wide range of readership across different design domains. To be relevant for this journal, a paper has to offer something that gives new insight into or knowledge about the design process, or assists new development of the processes of designing.
