The Design Minds book is a combination of inspiration to look closer at the design process as well as ideation cards for the user to fill in while they are working on various projects. The book is french folded with address information and postage on the inside fold.

 

The user fills out ideation cards from the Design Minds book. Each is self-addressed and stamped to make it easy on the user to send the cards in often.

After each ideation session, or whenever the user feels it would be helpful in the design process, the user fills out a card detailing the state their design process is in. There are four quadrants with descriptive words to allow the user to visualize her ideation process. There are also places with guiding questions where the user can add notes.

The address label and postage is pre-printed inside the french fold of the book.
