Name kinds of ideas?

Ok, so I’m working on a school project in which I need to find kinds of ideas an ways to develop them. Can you name some kinds of ideas and maybe if you want to also add a way that helps you develop that kind of ideas?

For example:
1)Ideas for the plot of a book you are writing - (ways to develop) read about some real events
2)Ideas for a painting - go visit some museums
3)Ideas for making a video for youtube - watch other videos and take ideass
and so on…

I heartily recommend the works of Edward De Bono on this topic - in particular, a book called Serious Creativity - he explores what are essentially mechanistic processes for generating ideas and creative solutions to problems.

Or you could try my invention dice.

(I’m not going to list specific ideas, because I think that would violate the homework help rule that is in place on this board).

Thank you very much!! :smiley:
I’ll try the book you recommended me. :wink:
And btw the dice idea is BRILIANT! Well done! :wink:

Let’s all keep this rule in mind as this thread progresses.

Thanks.
