Review
"This book is a fantastic resource for foundation level design classes. I thought the text was incredibly well laid out and written. I know my students got a lot from the information, text, images and design." Daniel Graham, Georgetown College, USA. "This book is highly relevant and well designed ... this book would be an obvious choice for one of the introductory courses. The images are clear and easy to understand. The overall layout seems very well done." Debra Satterfield, Iowa State University, USA.

Format:Paperback
The first book in a series of titles exploring the way in which we, as designers, approach the process of design generation, from the intial thoughts stage through to a final outcome.
I found this read to be informative, comprehensive and thought provoking - as any book approaching the methods through which the designer's imagination progresses ought to do.
It explores the numerous routes one may take in order to almost exhaust an idea - exploring every avenue of an initial thought, thoroughly looking into the vast possibilities of the directions in which an idea may go, and laying out just how an idea can go from perhaps one simple word, thought or experience, through to potentially almost innumerable concepts, all stemming from one initial concept.
This book lead me to rethink, to quite an extent, the way in which I, as a young designer, approach the process of idea generation. Through using appropriate combinations of the documented methods, I feel much more able to explore an idea to the best of my ability.
It will most certainly enable me in future to explore a concept in much more depth having read this title, and consequently I would recommend it to anyone desiring a fresh and innovative look at the numerous initial processes to consider when beginning, as the title states, 'Idea Searching'

Format:Paperback
This book is a must for anyone with an interest in Product Design, creative problem solving or Contemporary Design. After receiving my copy I have found it an essential reference book with plenty of excellent examples, illustrations and photographs. Written in a clear, easy to understand style the book communicates some creative and key ways in which to help the designer generate ideas, as well as providing inspiration from all corners of the design world. A MUST HAVE.
