Mind Maps

A mind map is used to show the development route of an idea broken down into categories.

They can be used to show options for one idea based on a central theme or any resources needed for a project.

Mind maps can be made by hand or using publishing, word processing or image editing software.

They are used by designers, project planners and even students to help with revision.
