“…In the present study it is demonstrated that drawing tests are influenced, to a certain extent, by the subject's cognitive style. The findings are consistent with previous studies that found an association between cognitive style and visual design capabilities high [15,16], and artistic abilities [24]. The differences obtained in the present study were clear, distinct and significant.…”

“…Verbal people are creating images if they try, but it is not a natural situation for them [14]. Accordingly, it is common for example to associate designer as of visual thinking ability, when representations that serve them are not only verbal, but also have a variety of shapes and patterns [15]. Evidence of this assumption was by correlating acceptance tests for Architecture by their cognitive style.…”

The drawing figures are widely managed as an ideal instrument for self-expression. HFD test (Human Figure Drawing) is an abbreviated test which was developed with the aim to evaluate various psychological states, especially assessing the psychic status including psychiatric illness and personality state. Thus, the reliance on the drawings must be proven that it has no bias due to cognitive differences between subjects. In the present study it is demonstrated that drawing tests are influenced, to a certain extent, by the subject's cognitive style. Although the study was limited here, the results indicate the need for re-examination of the reliability limits of the Test.

“…From the comments by students, the material constraints seemed to help "ground" them by providing specific materials to ideate off of. This is consistent with studies that have shown the impact of visual stimuli for inspiration (Goldschmidt and Smolkov, 2006;López-Mesa et al, 2011).…”

Impact of prototyping resource environments and timing of awareness of constraints on idea generation in product design

Research and development laboratories in universities and firms around the world are trying to maximize innovation with a limited set of resources. However, questions remain about the influence of resource constraints on idea generation in early-stage product design. Multiple embedded case studies were conducted with engineering students and professors at two university campuses in Mexico. Students developed sketches for products that would satisfy an open-ended design problem in a constrained-resource setting, where the variables were the timing of when information about these constraints was revealed, and the regular prototyping environment of the student. The evidence suggests that the timing of awareness of constraints can have an impact on design outcomes, but that this effect varies depending on the designer's regular prototyping resource environment.

“…This result shows how, even though the end users pursued the original icon feature, they thought that the binocular metaphor was both more original and more understandable than the traditional magnifying glass searching metaphor, whereas the butterfly metaphor was considered more original but less understandable. The present result supports the finding by Goldschmidt (2006), who proposed that when visual stimuli dramatically increase in originality, a negative effect on practicality may result. Similar results have been highlighted in our previous icon design development project for interactive TV menus (Lim et al, 2006).…”

Abstract:This study proposes a co-designing, iterative methodology to design graphical user interface for creativity support tools for designers. Given the high level of expectation from designers, the interface quality was one of the most challenging aspects of the work, in conjunction with the utility of the functionalities. An iterative design and evaluation process was used to create the icon-based interface, during which the needs of the designers and the functionalities of the system were integrated until a complete operational prototype emerged. This process provided three sequential prototypes. In order to achieve this, we derived qualitative and quantitative results from various methods: creative sessions, semantic and emotional evaluations, questionnaires, semidirective interviews, subjective performance assessments, longitudinal tests, and focus group assessments. Finally, our iterative design and evaluation process can be considered to be a very efficient means of integrating end users' spontaneous feedback about icon redesigns in the early phases of development. The design outcome enabled the end users to ensure that key features of the creativity support tool were both usable and appealing.Keywords: case study; creativity support tool; applied creative method; icon design; Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs); co-designing Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Kim, J., Bouchard, C., Omhover, J.F., and Aoussat, A (20xx) 'Designing a graphical interface for creativity support tools for designers: a case study', Int.
