Many innovative methods have been introduced to support creativity in the design process, but results from idea generation usually don't include a documentation of the process. They rather concentrate on generating creative design solutions (design outcome). The aim of this explorative study was to follow structural relations of visual documentation and presentation in the design process. The study followed principles from existing idea generation methods (e.g.: brainstorming, sketching, collages). Additionally it introduced a visual documentation procedure (structural ties) to capture relations to pre-given requirements. 25 young interaction designers participated in the study. Initial results of the study have shown that documenting structural ties during the creative process is possible to some extend and it has two major advantages: It has a potential to make stronger claims on the scientific value of creative techniques and such structures can help young designers to refine their creative ideas in alignment with pre-given requirements.
