Map 1: For my first mind map I tried mapping out the key components in my life. I was unhappy with my first sketch so i did it again and am much happier with the end result. I started out my writing my name in the center of the page and then began to form lines writing different things in my life.
Map 2: I focused on my new apartment that I am moving into and all the things that I need to make my place complete and feel like home. This project has actually helped me a lot, it gives me a visual perspective of what I need to get for my apartment. Now that I have everything laid out on paper I think that my process of moving will be much easier.
Conclusion: I definitely feel that mind mapping is a great exercise to do. It helps organize ones thoughts and ideas. I look forward to mind mapping more in the future.
For my concept map I decided to focus on "college" and the different aspects of it. I went into the educational aspect of college and also the social networking as well. When creating this I just kept adding on with arrows. This is just a small interpretation of what I think college is about. I kept this sketch with only using 4 colors. It was difficult using just four colors, I would have liked to use more colors but I wanted to see how it would look this way. I had "college" being the only word in black, thus making emphasis on the word and showing its importance. In conclusion I think I did a pretty good job on labeling the basic aspects of college and what it means to me.
