Make It Better: Mind Mapping

       At this stage of the process, my group began mapping our ideas with different techniques such as: mind mapping, concept maps, and word association exercises. The image to the left is a list of the many different issues we planned to resolve by redesigning the light. The second image shows one of the methods which we used to help create new ideas. This technique is known as a Mind Map, it helped to give physical structure to our ideas. With this mind map, we generated different ways to charge and mount the light. The final picture is small section of a much larger Idea Map. Here, we utilized Post-It notes in order to quickly write down our ideas for different techniques to generate the electricity needed to power the light.
