Concept Generation

The Concept Generation phase is the start of our creative thinking process. This is where we begin to explore and develop ideas for a product.

Hand drawn sketches are still a big part of our exploration process due to the speed in which they can be created and validated or disregarded in order to go in a different direction. Ideas at this stage are high level and as creative and free as possible to allow all opportunities to be explored before we filter them down to the most promising options. Aesthetics, construction, materials and manufacturing process, these are all subjects we consider as we look to develop ideas that meet all the requirements of the design specification from an early stage. There are no fixed ways in which we work and present our concepts to clients, every project is different. Sometimes it’s through the use of drawings and visuals and sometimes utilising models and simple prototypes.

The important thing is the quality of the idea or output. The concept defines the direction and forms the blueprint for the project. The right decisions made at this critical stage in the process have a lasting impact on the commercial success of the product.

Sustainability

At the heart of everything we do

It’s said that 80% of a product’s environmental impact is determined in the design stage. Due to this the designer has a responsibility to act with as much care and integrity as the client and project brief will allow. At TRIG we always look to minimise the impact a product has on the environment by using tools and techniques such as life cycle analysis and minimal material construction and making clients aware of their role and responsibilities when it come to end of life considerations for a new product.

Materials, manufacture, distribution, use and eventual end of life are all phases where a mass manufactured product leaves a mark on the environment. By careful consideration, utilisation of sustainable practices and education of others involved in the development process this impact can be minimised.

We are proud to support Big Blue Ocean Cleanup to help them tackle the issue of plastic waste pollution in the oceans. Visit bigblueoceancleanup.org for more information.
