This paper aims at developing a helpful method for producing creative designs by manipulating referential information in the initial stage of the design process. The exercise is carried out for a product design (lightings) by two groups, each of which is intentionally provided with different levels of referential information: one on buildings (Group-A) and the other on products (Group-B). The main findings derived from the analysis are summarized as follows: 1) Four different design process patterns were found according to the 'Concreteness vs. Target-domain Matrix' adopted in the paper. What we've called the 'Dynamic developing pattern' using a wide range of the Matrix domain scored the highest points. This pattern is particular to Group-A members. 2) The quantity of sketches drawn by Group-A was twice the amount of Group-B. This tendency was apparent especially in the initial stage when gathering ideas from the given referential information. 3) The analysis on the contents of the sketches reveals that Group-A members tried to extract abstract relations within the referential information in the initial stage. They then started sketching the concrete material aspects towards the final design. The final proposals following this sketching process generally earned higher scores.
