Innovative thinking capacity design, which is the essence of creative activity, rests with people, and the creation and full use of creativity must be facilitated by the proliferation and retention of innovative thinking capabilities, which can be said to be central to design. The ability of product designers to master the characteristics and patterns of innovative thinking will make it easier to apply the logic of thinking to stimulate people's social development, to inspire creativity and to creatively detect, analyse and deal with problems, which are the essence and the soul of industrial design creations。
Basic concept of product design for innovative thinking
The ability to think innovatively is a “established process of thinking” that manifests itself both in the intellectual process of complete exploration and discovery and creative invention and in the ways and means of thinking, in the theoretical underpinnings of some parts and in the content of the logical thinking activities that normally have novel features。
2. Product design features of creative thinking
The content of creative activity is fundamental to the ability to think creatively, while at the same time the new concept of development and the new consciousness created by the ability to think creatively guide the development of the content of creative activity。
(1) the opposite sex. In understanding new things, particular attention is paid to the differences and particularities of objective things and to the asymmetries between the phenomenon and its nature, form and content. Such psychological characteristics often manifest themselves in suspicion and criticism of more common situations and authoritative theories, rather than blind and easy to believe. Often, product design is characterized by the courage to challenge the inherent stereotypes, the rhetorical design, the style of design, the successful design re-thinking, denial and upgrading, and to articulate the basic concept of an entirely new upgrade。
(2) imagination. Imagines are the most important form of logical thinking that people explore and understand nature, and it can be said that it is not easy to have people without imagination. Galileo once said, “to deal with an issue, perhaps just a math lesson or a test of professional skills, and to clearly raise new issues, new possibilities, new perspectives on old issues and the need to innovate the imagination, and to imply a truly positive development in science.” the invention of multiple individual creations, such as hand saws, radar detection, passenger planes, etc., is derived from the perception and imagination of everyday work, such as small flowers, scavengers, and so forth。
(3) observed. The ability to think innovatively must be sensitive to observe and touch objective facts, and constantly connect objective facts to known common senses, where science can reasonably grasp and compare new things with each other in terms of homogeneity, repetitiveness and non-specificity, providing a truly reliable basis for subsequent inventions. This has led to an early and successful outcome of the event, in particular by focusing on unforeseen situations and by further exploring new leads on the content of the event. A well-known japanese industrial designer had previously expressed the view that “design is not a professional skill, but rather a sense of working ability to capture objective things and to understand what works, and that designers need to maintain their sensitivity to society at all times and adapt to current trends”. Product designers need to focus not only on observation, but also on simulation, i. E. On potential, new products. Carefully observe the client's personal behaviour, discover the difficulties and potential opportunities for the client to detect design inspiration, turn design inspiration into a product and ultimately allow customer application. In client applications, designers look further at problems, trigger design inspiration and update basic concepts. Products that do so will be better and closer to the needs of clients。
(4) design inspiration is active. Design inspiration is an occasional emotional response and is the best psychological feature emerging from other psychological impact coordination activities. The ability to think innovatively in a state of design inspiration is manifested mainly in a focus on concentration, imagination, a particularly sensitive logic and an abnormally strong mindset. Design inspiration is an important component of innovative thinking and of the success of innovation. Galileo has the following description of the ability to think innovatively: “i am convinced of intuition and design inspiration, and often unwittingly confirms that i am right. Imagination is more important than common sense, because knowledge is limited and imagination encompasses the whole world.” design inspiration usually entails the following: (i) a central problem to be addressed in the mind; (ii) an adequate stock of knowledge or accumulation of visual information; (iii) constant, difficult and long-term reflection on the central problem that is eager to be addressed, i. E., over-the-counter thinking; (iv) holds; and (v) design inspiration。
