Abstract
ABSTRACT As an essential step, design ideas generation is a process rooted in personal knowledge with a precedent-based type of reasoning, where knowledge is constantly transformed to develop new insights. An outstanding challenge in industrial design is transforming the inspirational source into insights that inform design. Based on the grounded theory, an open-ended semi-structured qualitative interview was conducted with professional industrial designers, to uncover what sources and methods do they choose and how do they transform the generated insights to ideas and the design mind-set involved. A compact framework and a detailed instrument paradigm were developed, which helps novice and students designers to explore creative solutions during the ideation process.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
