The document discusses brainstorming techniques for generating new ideas. It explains that brainstorming alone allows one to exhaust all options through sketching or drawing without disruptions, while brainstorming in groups requires setting time limits, keeping groups small, staying on track, and giving everyone a chance to contribute without criticism. Specific techniques presented include 4 square, clustering, mind mapping, Scamper, and morphological synthesis. The document advocates starting brainstorming alone before sharing ideas with a group to refine, clarify, condense, and critique them.

Brainstorming is the set of techniques of generating ideas. All techniques have much in common, but you can pick the best way of brainstorming taking into account conditions, materials, time, and a client.
The fourth lecture in the HITD 201 course. This lecture was taught by Mark Billinghurst at the University of Canterbury on Wednesday, December 11th 2013. It talks about how to generate problem solving ideas.
Brainstorming is an effective tool to mine ideas out of our mind. It helps us explore various
and, at times, instantaneous ideas to find creative solutions or business processes. There
are two brainstorming methods – individual and group.
Though both of them have their own advantages in terms of providing stimuli for idea
generation, people are more creative when they brainstorm on their own rather than in
groups. Individual brainstorming is better than group brainstorming as it provides the
working flexibility and gives a courageous environment to put all our ideas. What do you

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

Editor's Notes
Why is Brainstorming Important? - We need to make ideas stand out. The web is getting saturated… And creativity is a choice.- It’s not just about the design or the code - it’s about stepping back and looking at the big picture.

Where do you Begin?Isis Better to Brainstorm Alone or in Groups?What’s a good Process?What are some good techniques?
First: DEFINE THE PROBLEM. Turn Problems into solutions.One of the Mistakes is that you start off being too Generalized. Or not having a clear directions. Create a really cool toothbrush holder, not create a really awesome bathroom accessory. Be Specific. Constraints are good. They give you something to measure against.WARNING: Don’t focus on technique yet

Q: By Show of Hands:HOW MANY HERE ARE FREELANCERS? WORK FOR A COMPANY?
Individual - More ideas & wider range. Less Distractions. Groups - Bad group behavior creeps in such as distractions or staying on track.
Individual - Working in a Bubble. No one to expand on your ideas.Groups - Groups bring more experience and insight that just one person.
Individual - Anywhere, anytimeGroups – No one likes long meetings
Individual - You might find an idea you’d be hesitant to bring up in group setting. No egos.Groups - Criticism & egos get in the way. Not everyone participates in conflict.
Individual – You don’t have to wait for others to stop talking to contribute. Groups - Other people’s ideas get so much attention that they're not generating ideas of their own – or they're forgetting ideas while they wait for their turn to speak.
Q HOW MANY HERE ARE FREELANCERS? WORK FOR A COMPANY?Pros of individualwhen individuals brainstorm on their own, they come up with more ideas (and often better quality ideas) -When you brainstorm on your own, you'll tend to produce a wider range of ideas than with group brainstorming – you do not have to worry about other people's egos or opinions-you might find that an idea you’d be hesitant to bring up in a group session develops into something quite special when you explore it with individual brainstorming. Nor do you have to wait for others to stop speaking before you contribute your own ideas.Pros of Groupsoften more effective at generating ideas than normal group problem-solving, - Too many people make it difficult. Keep groups to 5 or 6they - Don’t go longer than 30-40 minutes. No one likes long meetings.Cons of Individual You are working in a bubble thus ideas may not develop as fully No one is there to expand on your ideas-Cons of groupsToo much criticism-in groups, people aren’t always strict in following the rules of brainstorming, and bad group behaviors creep in Not everyone participates in conflict Sometimes, It’s hard to stay on track- Some people get shy- Ideas get blocked as someone is trying to think of what to say next-so much attention to other people’s ideas that they're not generating ideas of their own – or they're forgetting these ideas while they wait for their turn to speak. Sometimes its good to start alone and then share it with a group.

is a way of trying to segment your thinking process into parts. I definitely use it quite a bit. (Though not in the strictest sense of the word.) You take 4-5 adjectives or characteristics and then brainstorm in that direction.Generally, when I have an idea I start with a sense of scale. Let’s say Procter & Gamble has a new toilet paper. If I’m trying to generate ideas around it, the first thing I’d do is take a general imagination run into scale. What happens if you have no toilet paper? What happens if you have way, way too much toilet paper? What’s the smallest type of toilet paper that you would ever use? What would an incredibly large toilet paper look like? Who is someone that never uses toilet paper? Who is someone that uses it constantly? What can you do with 10,000 rolls of toilet paper? What would a world with no toilet paper look like? I flip back and forth between the extremes until something interesting comes out of it. And then you repeat the process based on that new idea. It’s a super-cool exercise only in that it forces you to explore the outside boundaries of things.
