ABSTRACT
The article investigates two different ways of stimulating idea generation in the co-design process. In a quasi-experimental manner we compared effectiveness of structured and unstructured sources of inspiration. Based on the obtained data, we report on two idea-generation techniques: structured and unstructured, for stimulating group creativity. The article ends with a discussion regarding applicability of design cards and game-like cards in the ideation process.

Inspiration card workshops
DIS '06: Proceedings of the 6th conference on Designing Interactive systemsIn this paper we start from the position that sources of inspiration play an important role in the design process albeit in a frequently intangible way. We present the Inspiration Card Workshop as a collaborative method for combining findings from ...
