Obsession - What are Ideas and Concepts?

New project!

No Sketchbooks? How cruel! I neeeeeed to write and draw or i'll just explode! But fear not, for this project i shall be making a blog to follow along side my work which is actually a really interesting way to do it. Its also easier and i don't need to waste hundreds of pounds on print credits! Woo!
Today we started on our new project, however, we mainly spoke about ideas and concepts and the difference between them. I'm still a little unsure about the differences so i'll be doing a quick little research on them. These definitions are found from google.

Definitions of idea on the Web:

  • the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about; "it was not a good idea"; "the thought never entered my mind"
  • mind: your intention; what you intend to do; "he had in mind to see his old teacher"; "the idea of the game is to capture all the pieces"
  • a personal view; "he has an idea that we don't like him"
  • estimate: an approximate calculation of quantity or degree or worth; "an estimate of what it would cost"; "a rough idea how long it would take"

Definitions of concept on the Web:

  • an abstract or general idea inferred or derived from specific instances
  • Something understood, and retained in the mind, from experience, reasoning and/or imagination; a generalization (generic, basic form), or abstraction (mental impression), of a particular set of instances or occurrences (specific, though different, recorded manifestations of the concept)
  • A description of a proposed product or service consisting of attributes and benefits
  • relates facts to propositions and theories. concepts often become variables, but concept is more encompassing

After looking quickly into the different definitions i can see a difference between the two words so i feel i am able to start with the project.
