| Summary: | 碩士 === 華梵大學 === 工業設計學系碩士班 === 97 === The internal design thinking behavior of designers in the concept development has been an important issue of cognitive psychology and there were many related studies. Though there has been rapid growth of digital media applied for the concept development, relevant research of using new type of digital media in concept development is not sufficient. In this study, the internal thinking process designers have while applying digital media in the early concept development stage was explored. Special focus was made on the structure and procedure of problem solving. In this study, the protocol analysis was used to analyze and discuss such an internal process. Particularly, it was compared with the thinking process where traditional media are used.
At last, the author had reached the following conclusions: (1) The proficiency and related knowledge designers have for the design project has a big impact on the construction of the design problem and the efficiency of problem solving and completeness of detail design.(2) Compared with the traditional way of idea development, digital media makes it possible for designers to have an in-depth description of the detail design with the help of related functions or tools in digital media. (3) Without the limit of the drafting space, designers can have an effective thinking process regarding the micro and macro aspects of a design project because of the function of software, which enhanced the completeness of the design thinking. The results obtained in this study will benefit both the design education and practical design activity where digital media is applied.
