Visual materials are commonly used in creative design process as source of inspiration. Nowadays, many of these materials became accessible on the web by means of the image search engines. In this thesis, we developed a platform that adds image hunt and style adaptation features to Adobe Photoshop which is popular among designers as a computer aided design tool. Designers can search via a keyword or an image without changing their working environment and reuse the search results by using the facilities of Adobe Photoshop. This platform also enables to search with designer's unfinished designs, so it can be used not only in the idea generation step but also in the implementation step. An experimental setup was used to determine the success of the platform and verbal data were collected from the users.

Photoshop plug-ins supporting visual design Bal Bozkurt, Gülce; Tarı, Zehra Sibel (2018-07-09) Visual materials are often used to increase creativity in the design process. Current web content is quite rich in terms of visual materials. Search engines, on the other hand, provide suitable user interfaces to access these materials. In this study, we have developed Adobe Photoshop plug-ins to allow designers to access and use visual web content without leaving their design environment. Adobe Photoshop is a popular computer aided design tool among visual designers. The developed plug-ins facilitate both ...
Experience reflection modelling as a generative research method in an educational case for sustainable product design Turhan, Senem; Doğan, Çağla (2014-01-01) A generative research method, namely Experience Reflection Modelling (ERM), has been developed aimed at helping students explore and reflect upon design considerations for sustainability in the idea generation phase of a design process. ERM has been integrated into a product design for sustainability project as part of the design education in the Department of Industrial Design at Middle East Technical University. This paper begins by providing an overview of the generative research approach, explaining its...
DRAWING TECHNIQUES ON THE DESIGN CONCEPT PHASE: AN ANALYSIS OF BRAZILIAN, JAPANESE AND TURKISH STUDENTS' STRATEGIES Torrezzan, Cristina; Van der Linden, Julio; Bohemia, Erik; Kaygan, Pınar; Bernardes, Mauricio (2019-01-01) Professionals such as product designers, architects, and engineers have an intrinsic relationship with drawing, using it to represent everything from the creative sketches of a proposal to its production. In this sense, technical drawing and sketching techniques are a relevant part of design education. In this context, this article presents an analysis of drawings developed by product design students from different countries working in the Global Studio 2018, an international interinstitutional project. In ...
Design as a collaborative process: A systematic and constructive model for developing play material for blind/visually impaired pre-school children Evyapan, NAGZ (2002-05-17) This paper discusses a design process lived through, during the application of a model derived from design methodology and devised towards attaining a particular task. The task was: Designing a play system to contribute to the pre-school blind child’s development of object permanence, sense of self, and spatial concepts. The model employed was based on a systematic and constructive framework towards ensuring consciously made decisions. The paper also discusses the field-testing in play situations of the sys...
