Creative Process
Alex Osborn of the BBDO agency suggests these steps:
1. Immersion: read, research, learn about problem.
2. Ideation: look at the problem from every angle; generate as many ideas as possible.
3. Brainfog: don’t give up when you hit a blank wall.
4. Incubation: let your subconscious work on it.
5. Illumination: the idea often comes when you’re relaxed and doing something else.
6. Evaluation: does it work? Is it “on strategy?”
