MindMap



This was my recent project for my creativity class. To create a mindmap. At first I was a bit terrified about the task ahead of me. Well.. I didn't know how to start. We had to come up with a central topic that was one of a kind, and know enough about it to make it work in many dimensions. Once I decided on that, the rest became easier over time, until it seemed like i tranced out and the map created itself. Once I got used to it, i couldn't stop my pen.
Then I noticed something.
I consider myself a spontaneous and humorous person. Seems like I am often able to come up with a clever and well timed remark when the situation calls for it. But if you put me on the spot, i would probably fail miserably, which is why I am not a stand-up comic. Well - what I realized with the midmap is that this is the first way I have discovered of how to capture my spontaneity and record it on a piece of paper.
Quite an amazing tool. I'll be doing lots of these.
