Subject: Re: Design Metaphors
>Making a sub-set of design concepts that can be used to generate new
concepts would seem to be a waste of time. The selection process limits
what might be there, then the election process further refines what is
being looked for. Asking designers and artists about how they do this
stuff produces results that are limited by the self-reflection of
individuals - that is, some know a lot about how they generate new ideas
(scholarship work for me, for example) and some know little beyond a
grunt or two. (Selection/Election is the key - why this field of objects
(selection) - why these particular connections (election).)<
