Mind Mapping

Start with one idea and branch out from there to create a visual thinking tool that structures your information and helps generate new ideas.
My Mind Map 

  • I thought that the most interesting string was from growth -> change -> life -> babies -> baby food.
  • I also thought that green -> recycle could create an interesting idea.
    • I may explore this more when generating ideas for my seed packet design.
  • All the ideas that were generated from summer could be another direction I could go.
    • Frozen treats or beach related themes were most interesting to me in this string.
