There are two major differences between convergent and divergent thinking. First, in divergent thinking, the problem is defined much more broadly, with less attention to what the client wants;experimentation is open-ended anything can happen. Second, because the convergent thinker discards weak ideas in the thumbnail stage, the final image is preplanned and predictable.
A good problem generally includes the following characteristics: Significant, Socially Responsible, Comprehensive, open to Experimentation, Ambitious yet Achievable and Authentic.
The problem solving process for a designer begins by asking themselves four questions on their project. --What is needed? --What existing designs are similar to the design we need? --What is the difference between the existing designs and the new design? --How can we transform, combine, or expand these existing designs.
