    Abstract

    The Designers create a new product for attention and differentiation. How do designers start the design process, given that they want to come up with a yet non-existent product? The concept generation phase in design is not a case of problem-solving but as a starting point for a journey of exploration. Designers have started to explore how the use of personal experience can help them accomplish the most important goals of design – that is, communicating their intentions, creating the context for the product form, drawing attention to their product, and constructing something new. The research aimed to explore the distinctive practice of professional designers and to document what inspired them in their creative process. The result of this research provided a basis for developing a design framework using images, stories, and personal experiences to support the concept generation of new products.
