Creative Thinking

Creative thinking is different methods that you might use when designing something. This will help you get your ideas and start to develop the project. There are a few different ways of creative thinking.

Mind map - This is where you will write a word in the middle of a page and then all the ideas you think of what are to do with that one word you will write on the page.  This is helpful for coming up with logo's and themes for the project, and just any imagery for the project.

Wishful thinking - This method could be used for creating a name for the business or client you are designing for. You have to set your self a time limit of 10 - 20 minutes, and in this time limit you have to just keep writing or typing for the whole of the time limit. This could create some new names or even new imagery.

To generate more ideas you could look through magazines, newspapers or even books. These could just give you some inspiration for your design or help you along the way for the design.

You could do some research on the internet for things that relate to the thing you are designing, and maybe even do some research on the business doing this could give you ideas for colours, themes and imagery.
