Top 10 Stunning Mind Map Examples

The mind is the fountainhead of ideas. And ideas are multidimensional. So imagine yourself having a pen and paper in hand, taking notes amidst a brainstorming session with your co-workers. It is likely, you would instead "draw out" the key points with graphical doodles, rather than write them down. And you might be willing to do this without any artistic notion at all.

That's the point! Graphics make ideas and thoughts way easier to express and understand than in plain text. It is not just a choice, but rather a need to use mind mapping while teaching and explaining lessons to students, drawing out operational strategies, planning things, or jotting down creative concepts and a long list of other situations that need Freedom of Expression.

Tips for Mind Mapping

The mind is often a cluttered zone, which needs some freshness and a concise version of the proposed idea. So here are some recommendations to work out a quality Mind Map.

• Start with a draft. Have a jam session in putting forward your thoughts into paper. First, put down the focus of the subject, and gradually, cover all the instances, scopes, relevant risks, into subtopics, considerations, and highlighted points. At the end of the session, you are likely to have a war zone in the piece of paper, that only you can understand at it’s best. Let it be. That's the point.

• Now that you have all your ideas put into a visible form, it is time to organize the whole thing into a neat and comprehensive mind map, that would make sense to all.

• Use labeling for everything, and even the tiniest element should have a term or name so that it is probable to talk about it and make a standpoint.

• Colors are the most functional thing for mind maps. However, based on how elaborate your Mind Map, choose the right kind of color scheme, that is engaging and charming but doesn’t make your content look clumsy.

• Be minimalistic. It is ideal to have a white or light shade background color to make the whole thing pop.
