Logical Mind Map

This week learned about mind map.

What is a mind map?
It is a tool or a method to brainstorm and generate ideas. This method was introduced by Tony Buzan. Mind mapping is also used in taking notes, researches or generating new ideas.

A good mind map is able to stimulate and grab the interest of the individuals and also other people who views it.

The rules of mind map.
Creating a mind map is crucial in generating ideas. Therefor, it is important that we make it so that we can understand the mind map.

The first thing that we need to do is to put the subject at the center of the map. This will help us distinguish between the main subject and the other divisions.

Next we have to break down the main subject into sub-categories. And from the sub-categories, we break it down even further.

Next rule is that we must use images or drawings that is visually interesting for the viewers.

Then we should use different colours for different categories. This is important so that the viewers could distinguish the different between categories easily.

And we have our first assignment that is to create a logical mind map about our self. So here is my mind map about myself and the people around me.
