Mind Map:
-is a great tool for idea generation and brainstorming.
-widely used in taking notes, research or generating new ideas.
-able to stimulate and create interest to the individual and also to the viewer.
Logical Mind Map: directly connected to stereotype/
Associated Mind Map: able to generate random words and also show the links between words that seemingly have no connection.
From the Week 4 class
Logical Mind Maps & Stereotype
We have to understand what is stereotype before start a Logical Mind Map.
Stereotype is a conventional, formulaic, and oversimplified conception, opinion or image.
The rules of Logical Mind-mapping:
1. Subject (Title) must in the center of the image.
2. Subject have to more dominant than the rest of the words in the mind map.
3. Decide main categories before executing on mind map.
4. Different categories, different color or different image.
5. Use drawing or image to make the mind map more interesting, attractive and personal.
6. The ideal mind map should shaped like branching out from a center.
Additional Knowledge:
Pestle and Mortar concept.
A mortar and pestle is a tool used to crush, grind, and mix substances. The pestle is a heavy bat-shaped stick whose end is used for pounding and grinding, and the mortar is a bowl, typically made of hard wood, marble, clay, or stone. The substance is ground between the pestle and the mortar.
In design world, the substance is the problem we need to solve, the mortar is the material we choose to solve while pestle is the method we use to solve.
My small research on Mind Map, Brainstorming and Stereotype.
Mind Map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks, or other items linked to and arranged around a central key word or idea. Mind maps are used to generate, visualize, structure, and classify ideas, and as an aid in study, organization, problem solving, decision making, and writing.
The elements of a given mind map are arranged intuitively according to the importance of the concepts, and are classified into groupings, branches, or areas, with the goal of representing semantic or other connections between portions of information. Mind maps may also aid recall of existing memories.
By presenting ideas in a radial, graphical, non-linear manner, mind maps encourage a brainstorming approach to planning and organizational tasks. Though the branches of a mindmap represent hierarchical tree structures, their radial arrangement disrupts the prioritizing of concepts typically associated with hierarchies presented with more linear visual cues. This orientation towards brainstorming encourages users to enumerate and connect concepts without a tendency to begin within a particular conceptual framework.
The mind map can be contrasted with the similar idea of concept mapping. The former is based on radial hierarchies and tree structures denoting relationships with a central governing concept, whereas concept maps are based on connections between concepts in more diverse patterns.
Brainstorming is a group creativity technique designed to generate a large number of ideas for the solution of a problem. In 1953 the method was popularized by Alex Faickney Osborn in a book called Applied Imagination. Osborn proposed that groups could double their creative output with brainstorming.
Although brainstorming has become a popular group technique, researchers have not found evidence of its effectiveness for enhancing either quantity or quality of ideas generated. Because of such problems as distraction, social loafing, evaluation apprehension, and production blocking, brainstorming groups are little more effective than other types of groups, and they are actually less effective than individuals working independently. In the Encyclopedia of Creativity, Tudor Rickards, in his entry on brainstorming, summarizes its controversies and indicates the dangers of conflating productivity in group work with quantity of ideas.
Although traditional brainstorming does not increase the productivity of groups (as measured by the number of ideas generated), it may still provide benefits, such as boosting morale, enhancing work enjoyment, and improving team work. Thus, numerous attempts have been made to improve brainstorming or use more effective variations of the basic technique.
Stereotype is a commonly held public belief about specific social groups, or types of individuals. The concepts of "stereotype" and "prejudice" are often confused with many other different meanings. Stereotypes are standardized and simplified conceptions of groups, based on some prior assumptions.
A stereotype can be deemed 'positive', or 'negative'.
