Mind Mapping

Mind Mapping was said to be invented by Tony Buzan, the British popular psychology author. He claimed the idea was inspired by Alfred Korzybski's general semantics as popularized in science fiction novels, such as those of Robert A.Heinlein and A.E. van Vogt.
He has a teori that i'm totally agree with :
While 'traditional' outliners force readers to scan left to right and top to bottom, readers actually tend to scan the entire page in a non-liner fashion. He also uses popular assumptions about the cerebral hemispheres in order to promote the exclusive use of mind mapping over other forms of note making.

How??
- place a single word/text in the center. This is the main title of your mind map.
- make the word bigger than others to show that it's the subject.
- decide on the main categories of the subject before executing on mind map.
- try to have the different categories in different colors, to make it easier to identify.
- try to use drawings or images to make your mind map more interesting and personal.
- your mind map is consider done

reminder :
~ideal mind map should be shaped like the roots of a tree, branching out from a center.
~can repeat words or even interlink certain words.
~make your mind map neat and easily legible.

AIM :
- to create interest and to be able to access information easily.

Advantages :

- help trigger memories and greatly reduce the amount of note taking and assist in the understanding of the subject.

- images along side with word will again create interest for the mind map as well as assist in triggering a memory of the subject.

- will help to generate better ideas and greatly reduce the amount of stereotypes in the solution of a problem.

Mind map have remind me of our Alpha's year MDF subject lectured by Mr Che Mat.
He always pushed us to the limit for having a different and unique mind map everytime so that we can produced a better artwork. And as a result...we really did it! Some more after learning mind map, it's been making our process of designing easier. Until today, i'm still doing mind map before i start my artwork and even take notes in mind map form in lecture. It's more easier and faster...great for revision too~~


p/s : I've so many bad qualities~~ =.=
