Mind mapping

Mind Mapping helps designers to visualize complex ideas, patterns, and  relationships between them.

A mind map, is a tree that represents the central idea or topic and its  subtopics are branches of that tree. The mind maps are the simplest type  of design thinking. A mind map is an easy way to brainstorm thoughts  organically without worrying about order and structure. It allows you to  visually structure your ideas to help with analysis and recall.

Mapping has a lot of benefits. By mapping a user’s mental models,  designers are able to visualize abstract concepts, define relationships  and patterns between them, integrate ideas to existing systems. Mapping  should never be taken lightly: it’s a great way to enhance one’s thinking  process, deepen your knowledge of a specific concept, and find out  critical issues that need to be addressed in a timely fashion.

During brainstorming meetings and problem-solving sessions, many  outputs are shared and presented in fractals. Many of the design  thinking methods we discussed aims to direct the attendees thinking  towards a specific flow in order to achieve creativity or find innovative  solutions for problems. Mind mapping is one of the efficient methods that  organize all these in a formation and in a visually brain-friendly method.

When we are thinking of an idea, taste a specific food or visit a place,  our mind starts to link this action with our memories and previous  experience using a relevant model. Our brain starts with one center  action, colour, taste or image and builds branches of thoughts that are  used as a base for other multiplied ideas. How we think works very  similar to tree branches. This concept is used as the basis for all mind  mapping systems and approaches.
