Proposed by Hsiao et al. the process (Figure 2) of transforming an organism form into a product form involves a concept transformation stage which is further divided into two sub stages, utilizing the concept of product semantics and morphology analysis [29].

The Steps of the process include (Figure 3):

•  Step 0 - Selection of organism

•  Step 1 - Explain the features of organism

•  Step 2 - Identify unique feature

•  Step 3 - Depict other features (Behavior, habitat)

•  Step 4 - Describe features in wordings

•  Step 5 - Categorize keywords into Noun, Adjectives & Verbs

•  Step 6 - Illustrate keywords using pictures, keywords and available objects

•  Step 7 - Reproduce the picture in grid

•  Step 8 - Formulate conceptual solutions using images from step 2 & step 7

•  Step 9 - Produce a detailed mode
