A few days ago my brother (a network guy turned graphics and video production guy) asked me how I designed stuff. How do I come up with concepts and ideas. Wow, what a tough question. It is hard to verbalize and wrap a process around something like that. Especially for designers in my position where you generally work alone on designs... there is no great ad agency pow-wow session with white boarding.
Just a day later Molly posted about this exact topic and listed some good resources. Plus she and Eric Meyer are doing a session at the User Interface 10 Conference. Check out her post.
