- 20. 01 CHRISTINA WODTKE HEADER OF THIS PAGE From Rolf Fasteâs MindMapping article The basic principles of mind mapping are: 1 Create a Center Statement. 2 Develop ideas radially outward. 3 Capture ideas quickly. 4 Use lines to show connections. 5 Create train-of-thought structures. 6 Follow an idea as far as it will go. 7 Work from the known to the unknown. 8 Return to the center when ideas are exhausted. 9 Increase density to create richness. 10 Avoid being judgmental. 11 Have fun with the form.

Mental models, which are based on often-incomplete facts, past experiences, and even intuitive perceptions, help shape actions and behavior, influence what people pay attention to in complicated situations, and define how people approach and solve problems.

The second represents the areas of interest to the client. The third is the area of interest to society as a whole. Charles and Rayâs point is that it is in the area where all three overlap that the designer can work with enthusiasm and conviction . . .

- 78. 01 CHRISTINA WODTKE A simple model you can draw on a whiteboard becomes a meme. Is this why Lean Startup is huge?
- 79. 01 CHRISTINA WODTKE Determine the GOAL: how will the model be used, by whom? What is the job of the model? To change minds, explain a concept, simplify complexity? INVENTORY THE CONCEPTS: brainstorm many parts of your concept. Keep adding more in the margins as you go. INSPECT THE CONCEPTS: are there many concepts hiding in one? Do you really understand each idea? Determine the RELATIONSHIPS: how do the concepts interact? ď Decision point: do i understand the ideas and what iâm trying to communicate? Test: ask yourself if the model âfeelsâ right. If yes, then continue. ITERATE with words and pictures: talk to yourself and draw it out! EVALUATE with yourself/the client: keep making sure the drawings match the ideas you wish to communicate. Donât punk out early! Rest if you need to! ď Decision point: does my audience understand the ideas and what iâm trying to communicate? Test: can my audience answer key questions with the model? If yes, then continue. REFINE: use color, type, line weight, and labels to make sure you are communicating clearly.
