Stages and methods of creativity in an ındustrial product development (with a case study in bicyle design)

Abstract

This thesis is aimed on researching the creativity process that is concealed in the designprocess itself. The following chapters will include certain creativity concepts that were filtered out of a variety of processes. There are certain aspects to take into consideration as not only of a creative process but the progressive way of following certainmethods of design. The first chapter includes some examples on the blocks that ceasethe creativity in the design process. Examples will be given to display the way of keepingthe continuity of the creative mind. These are methods that designers use in daily life but are not aware of its existence. Processes will be included in the second chapter that will focus on the way of designing and methods of the design process. These methodswere included in order to give the creativity process an engineering pull-down andcease it from artistic dispersal. It could be seen that examples given from a bicycle designwill be included in all chapters. This is to uphold, and back-up the third chapter. In this chapter the case study of a bicycle design is included. The processes stated in the previouschapters were used in the process of the bicycle design.
