Understanding Creative Process

For now here's the different type of creative techniques we try in class:

1. Idea Box – it a morphological analysis method that helps the structuring and investigating the relationships contained in problems. Eg. List a variations of parameter and combined different variations of parameters to create new ideas

Step 1- List major elements involed in the issue or problem eg. Shapes, material, animals etc.
Step 2 - Each Variable is listed under different element eg. Shapes we have triangle, circle, square, oval etc.
Step 3 - Combining variables together to come up with ideas
Step 4 – Analyse ideas and choose one to expand the idea

2. Deep Doodling – To generate ideas, brainstorm with individual doing deep doodling in a group and exchange ideas and opinions as well as connections between ideas

3. Keep track of good ideas by writing it down and keep it somewhere so when we ran out of ideas and relook at the ideas we originally has, we might be able to come up with something.

4. Scamper and Word Chain that helps us think out of the box to create something and combined them together

5. Creative Cards that helps us along the way when we are doing group brainstorming

6. Questions that helps us proceed when we are stuck at some point

7. Wearing different thinking hats
