  The digital era transformed design paradigms, blurring borders among
exploration, ideation, and construction. Crowd generated big digital data
emerged as a new material. There appears to be a need for new content creation
tools which do not ignore complex interaction among traditionally separate
stages and roles. To address this need in picture design, we present an
open-source platform called Inspiration Hunter. It facilitates ideation via
search-edit by supplying infinitely many dynamic possibilities available
through the web without leaving the content creation environment, hence,
seamlessly integrates exploration, ideation, and construction. User experiences
show that the platform successfully enables reuse of web data both as a
conceptual stimulant and as a material available for cut-transform-paste.
Extending grammar-based approach to shape design, Inspiration Hunter mediates
data-enabled collaborative creativity beyond common intention, time or space.
