Differentiated impacts of image samples on creative performance in cultural tourism product design by Lun Wei, Hui Wu, Mingzhu Yu, Xuan Qin, Wenpei Zhang

“…The design process was divided into three stages, corresponding to three dimensions of creativity and the related seven assessment indicators: idea generation stage—divergent thinking (fluency and flexibility indicators), idea aggregation stage—convergent thinking (adaptability and feasibility indicators), and final design performance stage—design creativity (novelty, aesthetic and practicality indicators).ResultsThe results indicate that historical site and local culture samples significantly contribute to stage 1—divergent thinking (on fluency and flexibility indicators, respectively), while natural landscape contributes to stage 3–design creativity (on both novelty and aesthetics indicators).ConclusionThis study reveals the unique role of image samples in the cultural tourism product design process and emphasizes the necessity of selecting samples based on design stages or creativity dimensions. …”
