- The purpose of this paper is to understand the significance of form elements through the interpretations of design sketches. These interpretations are provided by designers themselves interpreting expressive characteristics of car images, and by students interpreting the sketches of designers' morphing sequences. In the experimental investigation of the sketching process through morphing sequence exercises, designers used individually driven styles and approaches when creating product form. These approaches produce characteristically different form ideas, which differ (but also show consistency) with respect to type of car category, expression, identity, recognition, format, composition, complexity, etc. Typically, assessment of generated sketch work and ideas is done using relative heuristic evaluation in a comparative design review. Given a large set of automotive sketches, general patterns of styling emphasis can be identified. The paper concludes that perceptions of designers are varied due to the representation format of the ideas as visual hand sketches. The visual hand sketches point out certain meaning and can be categorized with respect to perceptual characteristics according to the PPE framework and suggest that a tool to support evaluation and generation of early design concepts can be developed, and to support the generation of form ideas with desired characteristics for a brand, product category and market.

- Medical technological advances have been instrumental in improving the physical health of many individuals over the past 50 years. However, the impact that a patient’s care experience has on their emotional health has just begun to be explored. Using quantitative, qualitative, and design research methods, I am researching stress, anxiety, and perceptions of care in cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy. This 3-tiered methodological approach allows me to create a holistic understanding of the patient experience. Based upon insights gained from this data, I am implementing design interventions within this environment to evaluate their ability to improve the patient experience.

Capturing and analysing shape creation in design

- Explicit knowledge of how shape is created is lacking from the research literature. As this is a predominantly visual process it is difficult, if not impossible, to express in words. Substituting shape rules for verbal reports in protocol analysis, however, overcomes this difficulty. Shape rules employed in this way allow practitioners, and researchers, to record and reflect on the otherwise inexpressible processes central to visual creativity. © 2011 ACM.

A comparative evaluation of mouse, pen- and touch-input in computerized version of the Torrance tests of creative thinking
- 2011

- This paper presents the results of an experiment comparing mouse, pen- and touch-inputs in computerized figural creativity test. The results show no statistically significant differences in creativity scores obtained by participants using mentioned devices as computer input methods. The results indicate that creativity testing can be introduced to a variety of modern computer devices with insignificant influence of the three most popular input devices tested. That also shows that the differences between the computerized and paper-based TTCT noticed in a previous research might be the result of User Interface artifacts used.

- In this paper, we present the results of an experiment investigating how the results of a figural creativity test are affected when paper and pen or tablet PC and stylus are used to test participants. The results show no effect of the testing method on creativity scores obtained by participants. The results indicate that the differences between computerized and paper-based figural creativity tests noticed by previous research might be limited to the influence of User Interface artifacts used. That implies that creativity testing can be introduced to a variety of stylus based computer devices with insignificant influence of the transition from regular pen and paper to screen and stylus as a computer input device.
