The process requires both knowledge and creativity. This study focuses on ideation process during concept generation, in which creativity is the most utilized. The aim is to identify how the creative nature of human thought at the beginning stage of design in which the process of ideation is applied, is affected by their mood states. For that purpose, a number of student designers are first induced into several mood states before given a design task. The task applied is on designing a solution for improving the use of a commonly used artefact. The creativity of the idea is evaluated based on the fluency, originality, and expansion. As the result, the ‘positive activating mood’ is found to be effective for higher level of creativity. ER -
