Tools for Creativity: Sketching with the EDC and PSPD

Many researchers have developed creativity support tools
(CSTs). In this paper we present a summary of our
observations of the creative process using one such tool – the
Envisionment and Discovery Collaboratory (EDC) –focusing
on the nurturing of creativity through the use of sketching.
We go on to describe lessons that we have learnt and applied
in the development of a tool to support sketching in creative
design processes – Public Social Private Design (PSPD)

In this paper, we present a summary of our observations of
support for sketching within a creative design process using a
computer-based creativity support tool: the EDC [1]. We go
on to describe lessons that we have learnt and applied in the
development of a further tool to support sketching in creative
design processes: PSPD.
