Mind Mapping 

 Challenge & Selection 

 Mind mapping is a great tool that I often use at work , as a Graphic designer , when our clients bombard information to us we 

 draw down notes , make sketches , and brainstorm the best way to relay that information to their audience . By writing notes 

 down and writing things that are either synonymous or are related to that word , we can reach conclusions and solutions in a 

 much more efficient manner . As you work in a team , different people think of different words and we begin to put them on 

 together a board and we all look at what we came up with , from then on , we proceed to narrow down options until we have a 

 simplified mind map , which than allows us to begin testing and trying these options . 

 There was this project for a film festival in Switzerland , the client wanted to create a poster to promote the festival , the idea 

 for the poster was simply to mix Switzerland and film making into an illustration . The challenge was to come up with the idea 

 on how to showcase that in such a manner that the audience would understand it as soon as they see it . 

 Application 

 To begin the process of mind mapping , we first began writing down words related to Switzerland and Film making ; “ Snow , 

 Ski , mountains , Chocolate , watches , banks , etc ( Switzerland ) ; Movies , film , cameras , lights , crews , trailers , director , actor , 

 etc(Filmmaking ) . From these words , smaller branches came out , such as ; Mountains : trees ,   avalanches , rocks , and so on . 

 Insight 

 The mind map propagated many different ideas which allowed us to narrow down what the poster illustration would look like . 

 After trying a few ideas in the preliminary sketch phase , we decided to settle with the piece that was a homage to vintage 

 Swiss ski posters and vintage film cameras . Where we had snowy mountains on the back , a skier with a beret , and a film 

 camera , where the bottom of the poles for the tripod were substituted with film roles , which creates a more dynamic 

 illustration as the substitution creates “ Easter eggs ” that make the piece more interesting to the viewer . 

 Approach 

 Upon reflecting on the compilation of the project , I would have more people involved in the mind mapping process , not only 

 the design team but also other coworkers , friends and family , as some of them would be our audience , they will have a 

 different point of view from a designer . Other people may think less objectively or come up with an answer that is not a goal 

 oriented thought , such as a designer 's thoughts .
