Writer's Toolbox

Putting your ideas in writing is a very effective way of brainstorming, drawing out ideas and developing them. As evidenced by famous and talented artist of the past, Leonardo da Vinci, this is an effective and important part of the design and brainstorm process. Some examples of modern mapping methods listed in this reading were:

1. Mind maps
2. Concept maps
3. Free writing
4. Brain writing
5. Word lists

Which type you decide to use is based on personal preference. Sometimes even a combination of methods can be more effective. When I'm preparing to do a project I tend to use mind maps, free writing or word lists, and more often than not, all three.
