The effect of AI-based inspiration on human design ideation

Jingoog Kim, Mary Lou Maher · 22 Jan 2023

Computational co-creative systems in design allow users to collaborate with an AI partner on open-ended creative tasks in the design process. Co-creative systems can enhance design creativity by inspiring the exploration of novel design solutions in the initial idea generation. However, there are a lack of studies about the effect of co-creative systems on the…

‘Fixation’ and ‘the pivot’: balancing persistence with flexibility in design and entrepreneurship

Nathan Crilly · 7 Aug 2017

‘Design fixation’ occurs when exploration of the solution space is unintentionally constrained by designers’ knowledge of prior solutions. The study of fixation is well established in design research but there has been little discussion of what might be learned about fixation from studying related phenomena in other creative practices. To address this, a series of…

Inspiration peak: exploring the semantic distance between design problem and textual inspirational stimuli

Milene Gonçalves, Carlos Cardoso, Petra Badke‐Schaub · 4 Jun 2013

The selection of sources of inspiration is a crucial moment while designing, as it can enhance design creativity. Designers seem to prefer using pictorial representation modalities despite empirical investigations indicating possible disadvantages of such unimodal approaches. Therefore, it is valid to ask whether designers are disregarding other available stimuli, such as textual representations. In order…

We address these future topics by showing our views or opinions, as well as by referring to some theories and arguments that have appeared up to the present in…

Santosh Jagtap · 23 Apr 2018

Novelty is an important characteristic of a creative idea, forming a core component of creativity. Measurement of novelty is therefore essential to assess creativity. We found deficiencies in a frequently cited method of novelty assessment found in the literature. We refine this method by proposing four modifications, supported by drawing on examples of products and…
