示例的使用在创意设计实践中起着至关重要的作用，但是此过程的细节仍然是一个谜。这对于理解设计活动以及开发更有效的设计工具都是有问题的。在本文中，我们报告了一项研究的结果，该研究了解并比较了设计师（n = 11）如何利用，管理和共享示例来支持创意设计过程。研究的域是网络，图形和产品设计。我们的研究表明，例子是创造性实践的基石，在整个设计过程中出于许多原因被使用。由于示例对于项目的成功至关重要，因此需要更有效的工具来支持检索，存储和传播示例。本文有助于理解示例在设计过程中的好处和作用，以及对支持示例用法的更有效工具的设计的影响。
The use of examples serves a critical role in creative design practice, but details of this process remain an enigma. This is problematic for both the understanding of design activity as well as for developing more effective design tools. In this paper, we report results of a study that understands and compares how designers (N=11) utilize, manage, and share examples to support the creative design process. The domains studied were Web, graphic, and product design. Our study shows that examples are a cornerstone of creative practice and are utilized for many reasons throughout the design process. Since examples are pivotal to the success of a project, more effective tools that support retrieval, storage, and dissemination of examples are needed. This paper contributes understanding of the benefits and roles of examples in the design process and implications for the design of more effective tools that support example usage.
