Basics Design: Design Thinking is an introduction to the process of generating creative ideas and concepts. It indentifies methods and thought processes used by designers in order to start the process that eventually leads to a finished piece of work. This focus on ideas and methods eschews an abstract, academic approach in favor of a useable approach to design as a problem-solving activity.
