Summary: | 碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 應用藝術研究所 === 85 === Sound design methods can help designers with their thinking
activities; however, most design methods which overemphasize
reasoning power ofmethodology could lead to a defect of "method
over mind." Furthermore,the development of science and
techonology, the change of industrial structure and the
competition of enterprises make the demand for design creativity
more and more urgent. The development of a sound creative
design method,therefore, has become an important issue of
comtemporary design research.In the domain ofcreative
psychology, CPS (Creative Problem-Solving) is a strategy which
makesuse of systemetic thinking to solve problems. With a
flexible structure ofctivity for creative problem-solving , CPS
can be applied to a variety offields. This research attempted to
integrate the related CPS theories todevelop a useful creative
design method for visual communication design.In this study,
the relationship between CPS and design activities was first
investigated through literature review . Moreover, a concrete
model of CPS design method was proposed. In this model, problem-
finding, conceptualproblem-solving, graphic problem-solving,
evaluation, and the use of assistancetools and the like actions
are integrated into a complete procedure for creative problem
solving. Designers can alternately make use of divergent,
transformation, and convergent thinking to undertake the
wholistic problemsolving activities through the stages of
problem brainstorming, conceptualbrainstorming, graphic
brainstorming, creative evaluation, and flexibly usingassistance
tools. On the other hand, this CPS design method puts emphasis
uponthe creative operation in order to enhance the creative
responses during thedesign process. More importantly, this CPS
design method with flexiblyoperating featiness not only provides
designers with a concrete andwell-structured framework of the
design activities, but also possesses the user friendliness, and
self-determination ability, which will promote thecreative
problem solving to a certain extent. Furthermore, for
demonstratethe usefulness of this method, this CPS design method
model has been appliedto a pratical case study. This research
came to the conclusion that such adesign method can be applied
to both design practice and design curriculum.
