Light switch. In building wiring, a light switch is a switch, most commonly used to operate electric lights, permanently connected equipment, or electrical outlets. Portable lamps such as table lamps will have a light switch mounted on the socket, base, or in-line with the cord. Manually operated on/off switches may be substituted by remote control switches, or light dimmers that allow controlling the brightness of lamps as well as turning them on or off.
In a previous article, we explored how top designers such as Tom Bassett, Frank Gehry, David Rockwell and Yves BÃ©har defined the creative brief.
Another good book on the creative process was written by William Kirby Lockhard and is called Design Drawing. Lockhard's model for the design process can be effectively applied to the creative process. His topics include things like MindModel, STM (short-term memory), LTM (long-term memory), and EM (external memory). LTM is akin to subconscious memory, while STM is akin to consciousness.
