Structured Ideation

Refresher

As a quick refresher, here was my “final idea” from the Evaluation Project. It was simply Reflective Grip Tape and it was incredibly long (too long).

S.C.A.M.P.E.R.

In the SCAMPER section, I went through each and every letter of the Acronym and answered the questions provided on the class presentation slides. Then I came up with at least 7 ideas for each section, as instructed. While ideating, I faced some problems concerning the Eliminate and Magnify sections because of my simple primary design. However, after several different occasions of brainstorming, these two aspects became the most important element in my new design.

Substitute:

Reflective Glue

Reflective Putty

Reflective Foil

Reflective Paint

Reflective Patch(Trendy)

Reflective Wheels

Reflective Gloves

Combine

Sticky Reflective Shirt

Sticky Bike reflector

Sticky Reflective Gloves

Reflective Joint Protectors

Sticky bike light

Sticky Reflective Glasses

Sticky Reflective Sunscreen

Adapt

(Sticky/Reflective) Duct Tape

(Sticky/Reflective) Masking Tape

(Sticky/Reflective) Scotch Tape

(Sticky/Reflective) Painters Tape

(Sticky/Reflective) Tennis Grip Tape

(Sticky/Reflective) Electrical Tape

Magnify/Modify

Thick Roll (Large Not Tightly Packed)

Thin Roll(Can be large, Tightly Packed)

Long roll of tape (Can cover whole bike, big roll)

Short roll of tape (Can cover one or two handlebars)

Small roll (Thin slices of tape)

Large roll (Thick Slices of Tape)

Put to other use

Can be used to make reflective road signs

Can be used to make illuminated car lanes

Can be used to spruce up a car design

Can be used to make “reflective duct tape wallets”

Can be used as a toy car’s wheels

Eliminate

Non Sticky Reflective Grip Strap

Non Grippy Reflective Tape

Non Reflective Grip Tape

Less Width/thin Grip Tape

One bar of Reflective Grip Tape (No Roll)

Dense pocket-sized Grip Tape

Reverse/Rearrange

Glow in the Dark Tape

Pulled tape from the middle of the roll

Outside of tape roll is sticky

Non Sticky, non grippy, non reflective strap

Detachment of tape through a tissue box like function.

Morphological Ideation

Creating the Morphological Ideation was quite tough. It was particularly tough for me, because I believed it was the first step of the Structured Ideation process. Creating the five requirements for functionality was a bit of a struggle because of the sheer simplicity of my idea. To make matters more simple, I decided to take advantage of the shape and existing effects (stickiness and reflection) of my idea because they can vary easily.

However, constructing the six Design Embodiments that followed, was very challenging. After about 2 hours of hopelessly self ideating with mind maps and lists, I decided to take a different route. I took advantage of the fact the assignment was assigned over thanksgiving break and used my relatives input to influence and inspire my ideas. They had some great ideas, in which I proudly present in the preceding Morphological Ideation.
