English

Subject field(s)
  • Industrial Design

Design is the conversion of an idea into a finished product of some type. Sometimes the new or improved product is well defined, with ... tentative specifications, making the design quite straightforward. At other times, the proposed product idea is as tenuous and fragile as a soap bubble....

CONT

The creative phase of the project is the time when all ideas are good.... There are a number of ways to develop this flow of ideas. ... In brainstorming, an overview of each idea is needed, not the small ideas of the concept.

OBS

"Idea" is frequently encountered in the sense of "product idea". An idea may be a process idea; see the record for this term.
