Dear list,
I'm writing a PhD about the relationship between creativity and
constraints (any references on that topic is of course highly
appreciated!), and I'm now in the phase of developing pilot studies
with students and professional designers.
In the study I'll have teams of two designers working 90 minutes with
producing a design solution for a given (product) design problem. The
challenging part is to find a good design task that is possible to
"solve" in about an hour, without giving too many constraints, and
that most people will have relevant background knowledge to work with.
I've considered classical experimental tasks like the measure cup for
blind users, bike rack, device for mounting backpack on bike,
automated cloak-room and spill proof cup, but if anyone on this list
have experiences with using other tasks please let me know!
Thanks a lot,
Balder Onarheim
