Concept design from random algorithms for design sketching

To determine an understandable algorithm method that could be used by designers to create novel concept designs, we selected the popular motor scooter as a sample product, and used the most distinctive front handle cover as a design target. Our method included three phases: preparation, construction of conceptual creativity, and semantic analysis. We compared random idea sketches with designs available on the market, and observed that certain concept designs obtained using this method were exceptionally innovative, and could be easily redesigned for an actual product. This method can immediately provide many ideas that could be used to develop feasible designs. This method can not only be applied unlimited times to generate innovative ideas, but can also be adjusted to fit a new project. Finally, we observed innovative image that the created designs of the front handle cover were more than the designs available on the market, according to a questionnaire survey. This proved that the proposed method could be used to produce original concept designs.
