IDEATING
- Make your thinking visible - on paper or a sketch model in 3D
- React and respond quickly to information.
- Get first thoughts and reactions out and visible as fast as possible
- Don't edit or reject anything- all ideas are good ideas, and if they aren't they will lead to better ideas*
- Collaborate to generate ideas by interacting with people who are different to you
- Use any and all media: 2D, 3D, written, spoken, and any combination or variation of these
- Develop the skill to ensure you get ideas recorded before you forget
- * "Mistakes are the portals of discovery" - James Joyce
