- Encourages unrestrained idea generation and creative thinking.
Client
- Individual using a professional's or organization's services.
Creativity
- Ability to generate novel concepts and ideas.
Criteria
- Standards or rules for judging something.
Constraint
- Limitation in a design process (e.g., appearance, funding, materials).
- Restriction or limitation.
Design
- Iterative decision-making process creating plans to convert resources into products meeting human needs.
- Plan or drawing showing the look and function of something before creation.
- Decorative pattern.
Design Brief
- Written plan outlining the problem, criteria, and constraints.
- Guides thinking about all problem aspects before solutions.
Design Process
- Systematic problem-solving strategy with criteria and constraints.
- Develops solutions and narrows them to a final choice to solve problems or satisfy needs.
Design Statement
- Part of a design brief; challenges designers and describes what a solution should do, not how.
- Identifies the solution's execution level.
Designer
- Creates designs using drawings or visual cues.

- Reasonable and merited according to accepted standards.
Piling-on
- Generating similar or enhanced ideas from an initial idea.
Problem Identification
- Recognizing an unwelcome or harmful matter needing attention.
Product
- Tangible artifact produced by human, mechanical, biological, or chemical processes.
Prototype
- Full-scale working model testing a design concept through observation and adjustment.
Research
- Systematic study of materials and sources to establish facts and reach conclusions.
