    Hi!

    The online translator is way off!

    I would say:
    Diseños que incitan nuestros pensamientos
    Diseños que incitan los pensamientos

    Regards!!

    In my opinion you should try in a translation ,not so much to translate the words but the message ,the idea that those words want to express .
    The direct translation would be diseno que provoca pensamiento
    The correct translation Diseno inspirador . Since inspiration trigers your thougts it would be equivalent to thought -provoking .

    Hi! May I give another suggestion, a little more 'unattached': "diseños que echan a volar la imaginación"
    Regards,

    or you could just say "diseños provocativos" - the idea is definitely there.

    I think it should be even more simple: "Diseños creativos". Cheers

    Un diseño creativo no necesariamente implica un diseño provocativo o que inspire o estimule la imaginacion, es simplemente un diseño diferente o innovador. Podría, por ser creativo, inspirar también la imaginación, pero la frase no sugiere eso a primera vista. Así que yo pondría un diseño estimulante si solo tengo espacio para una frase en el folleto, si tengo más espacio, entonces me iría por un diseño que estimula la imaginación.
