How to Best Frame a Design Brief to Maximize Novelty and Usefulness in Idea Generation

Abstract: This paper aims to identify factors that influence creativity, and strives towards understanding the effect of representations, namely abstract and concrete design outcomes. Three conditions are compared; a control group, an abstract group, and a group provided with various example solutions. The implications of this work can strongly impact the formulation of design briefs, where the goal is to stimulate the creativity of design brief outcomes and examine their relationship to product awareness.

“…Ideas of the verb group were more frequently considered as new experiences where technological capabilities and manufacturing may not have been the primary consideration, resulting in lower realisability scores. Usability was not found to be influenced by the problem statement types, which in some way conflicted with the results of previous studies that indicate a significant relationship between the type of the stimulus and the usability scores (Koronis et al, 2019, 2020). Receiving the problem statement in verb or noun form did not influence participants’ elaboration.…”

“…Apart from usability and elaboration, problem statement types were found to be related to the creativity dimensions. Most of the results are in line with the literature, in which the design brief improves creativity during the idea generation (Cheng et al 2014; Koronis et al 2019, 2020). Thus, the design brief should be considered as a catalyst for creative outcomes.…”

A project manager often develops briefs in consultation with the client to amalgamate targeted group needs and desired results (Koronis et al, 2020). In the design studio, the brief describes and communicates in a succinct format what aspects should be achieved for a potential client.…”
