Generative Creative Thinking




Cause something, bring about change, create, make, produce and provoke by embarking on a spot of brain writing. Record all your ideas on a page and then exchange ideas with a friend. Who uses them as a trigger for new ideas or variations on the theme.

Look into morphological analysis and explore all the possible solutions. Identify attributes and values andepeatedly combine selections generated. Forcing all items together to build a creative solution.

Explore shaping to make ideas more specific and practical. So think of any constraints that might interfere with the execution of your idea. And shape the idea to fit within these constraints.

Brainstorm ideas with a focus on quantity. Remember to withhold criticism. While embracing the unusual and combining and improving ideas.

Or use SCAMPER a general-purpose checklist to  spark your creativity. First define. Then substitute. Combine. Adapt. Magnify. Put to other uses. Eliminate or minify. And rearrange or reverse to come up with innovative solutions.

Fung Kwok Pan conceived the idea for the Fluid Vase without any consideration that it can exist beyond a design experiment. But thanks to 3D printing technologies using a web interface the user can now freeze any part of the process of pouring water into a vase. From which the physical object is produced on demand. Thus the user can influence and observe the formation of the Fluid Vase.
