Book excerpt: Designmuster sind die Bausteine für Design und können in natürlicher oder vom Menschen geschaffener Umgebung beobachtet werden. Diese Musterbeispiele stellen eine visuelle Datenbank verschiedener Lösungsmöglichkeiten für Designer aus verschiedenen Disziplinen dar. Die Beziehungen zwischen Form, Gestalt und Farbe und die Art und Weise, wie wir diese Beziehungen verstehen und wahrnehmen ist das Thema dieses Buches. Designer müssen in der Lage sein, diese Grundmuster zu verstehen, wenn sie eine effektive und kreative Designlösung finden wollen. Dieses Buch definiert diese allgemeinen "Regeln" der Wahrnehmung und unterstützt so den Designprozeß, indem es die Voraussetzungen für Kreativität, Visualisierung und Problemlösungen schafft. Dabei werden nicht nur Techniken zur Entwicklung von Kreativität im Designprozeß behandelt, sondern ebenso die Entwicklung des Designprozesses selbst, vom ersten Schritt bis zum fertigen Produkt, durch Analogieschlüsse zwischen Produkt und dem Musterbeispiel das dazu die Anregungen lieferte.
