Design is a challenging and comprehensive human activity where new products and systems need to be developed. Customers' demand for improved experiences and new functions are changing reflecting technical and socio-cultural situations. Thus designers’ creativity is essential in for successful design. While creativity in general has been a subject of study in many disciplines including cognitive psychology and education, more specific study on creativity relevant to design and designers has been at the leading front end in both understanding creativity and improving creativity in design. Also the nature of design would bring in viewpoints on creativity that might not be addressed in more general creativity research. Workshop Aim: The goal of the workshop is to create a forum for researchers who are interested in design creativity to discuss both general and specific issues related to perspectives, concepts, approaches, models, and supporting tools for design creativity. Based on the success of the previous Design Creativity Workshops held in 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2014, in this workshop we intend to broaden the participation and topics of discussion.
