How to Have an Idea

This lecture we were focusing on how to generate an idea. I found key techniques to help me in my project. I do get a creative block quite often but when i finally get an idea in bad for sticking with it instead of improving it. I Learnt that sometimes an idea can come from two old ideas and the process of thinking is just 4 steps,
Preparation
Incubation
Illumination
Verification

This is a Process Model for all creative diciplines

The First step of the model is research, finding old ideas and thinks that could inspire your work or project. Its important that you find good research because them you know whats out there.

The second step is define, Make since of possibilities and create a clear brief

The third step is develop, development is important as this is how you have an idea and work on that idea, or multiple ideas until your happy

The forth step is Deliver, deliver the idea to a client

You could go through this process a few times jumping backwards and forwards until you and the client is happy with the out come.


A few ways you could show your ideas and development could be through a mind map, mood boards, story boards, time lines, brainstorming, sketching and many more.
