Mindmapping? Brainstorming?

A good mindmapping needs to content images and information (less words = keywords). So today, i draw a mindmapping just based on keywords and few sketches that i draw.

First, i divide it into 4 parts. First part is the big main topic, second is the title out from the topic, and then follow by sub title and sub sub title as well... When you see it far away from the picture, you can see that i'm trying to use different lighting colors to seperate the tasks. like the color "more bright" means it's more important than the sub sub titles. So from the class, i learn that, as a designer, we need to be always be creative to do mindmaps, we want a creative mindmapping but not a formal and boring mindmapping that full of "texts". These is what we need to bear in mind forever... "Creative" "creative" and "creative"!!!

Mei Zhi = Rats?! @@

This week class, we have to pick a partner and ask 10 questions to produce a drawing for him/her. The drawing must use a best metaphor to describe the person well... So I learn that metaphor is very important to a designer, everythings must start with a methphore and slowly transform into a new designs...

So, Liu MeiZhi is the one that too unlucky pick by me...

1. What size are you? Small.

2. What is your favorite pet? Mouse.
