Interested in discarding the obvious, leaving behind traditional modes of thought, and throwing away preconceptions. Then this thinking toolkit might just be custom made for you.
1 - Just do what you are already doing and hope that something will turn up. 2 - Embark upon some free association and jump from one idea to the next as quickly as possible while not trying to think too hard. 3 - Take a pair of concepts and in a conceptual analysis explore five possible relationships between them. 4 - Use a random word, a piece of text, an image or an object as a stimulus to provoke thinking. 5 - Transcend subject demarcation by thinking not about what the subject is, what it is not, or what it could be. 6 - Use a random historical source to challenge and inform your practice. 7 - Turn the object/image/text upside-down or put it on its side or back to front. 8 - Place the object/image/text in a context to which it does not normally belong. 9 - Think about the object/image/text from the sensory point of view of sight, sound, taste, touch, smell. 10 - Or alternatively add some humor by employing some puns.
Everyone has strings of cable and old hosepipe lying around. But it takes some lateral thinking to stiffen it and tie it up to turn it into chairs, stools and lamps. Dutch Designer Sander Bokkinga's
