Abstract

Externalizing ideas in universally understandable diagrams may enhance communication and contribute to creative design. "Idea drawing" is a freehand drawing method developed to express accurately how an object looks based on elemental geometry and perspective. To examine whether idea drawing could contribute to the product design process, we held a course for engineers involved in manufacturing a product. An interview of a participant suggested that idea drawing may enhance communication between the engineers and thus help substantially in the creative design process.

The influence of sketch quality on perception of product-idea creativity

This paper explores the relationship between the quality of a sketch and how others perceive the creativity of the idea portrayed by the sketch. In this study, sketch quality is characterized through its line work, perspective, and proportions. Four ...

KICSS '12: Proceedings of the 2012 Seventh International Conference on Knowledge, Information and Creativity Support Systems

This paper presents an experimental study that explores the effects of background music on freehand drawing. In the experiment, two types of background music and two themes for freehand drawing were prepared. To control the consistency of these materials,...
