Abstract
The purpose of this study is to discover an idea creation method for designers based on memory. This poster focuses on how to use memories to produce new ideas. The author did the workshops based on two previous design works. Then, she proposes the approach that uses memories for designer to produce the idea. There are two different backgrounds in this study. The one is the state that the user enjoys using the tool. Secondarily, there is a reason why designers tend to use the memory to produce new ideas. Brown, R., & Kulik, J. indicated on the paper “Flashbulb memories” the event that strong emotional feelings continue to keep the memory. The author believes idea creative method based on memory helps designers to create various ideas. This research refers to the result of the research that two professors previously did. One is “Photo diary and photo essay” which is a methodology created by the Professor of the first author. Another one is “Changing Personal Memories to Group Memories: Study of a Workshop on the Expression of Personal Memories” that Prof. Nojima at Seijo University is researching. “Photo diary and photo essay” is the methodology for the designer and the developer to be the approach to obtain user information, and to conceive the idea. The photograph is used for this approach. Prof. Nojima’s research is based on a study about the method of managing memories by a technological approach. The author is starting this research from the experience of the workshop done by these two previous works to visualize memories.
