Sources of inspiration play an important role in the design process, both in defining
the context for new designs and in informing the creation of individual designs. Previous
designs and other sources of ideas furnish a vocabulary both for thinking about new
designs and for describing designs to others. In a study of knitwear design, a process
in which the use of sources of inspiration is explicitly acknowledged, we have observed
that designers communicate with each other about new designs, styles and moods, largely
by reference to the sources of their ideas. In this paper we discuss why this style
of communication is so important, and what information it is used to convey. We view
it as the use of a language to describe regions in the space of possible designs |
