Mind map guidelines

Start in the centre with an image of the topic, using at least 3 colours. Use images, symbols, codes and dimensions throughout your Mind Map. Select key words and print using upper or lower case letters. Each word/image must be alone and sitting on its own line.

Mind map guidelines

The lines must be connected, starting from the central image. The central lines are thicker, organic and flowing, becoming thinner as they radiate out from the centre. Make the lines the same length as the word/image. Use colours your own code throughout the Mind Map.

Mind map guidelines

Develop your own personal style of Mind Mapping. Use emphasis and show associations in your Mind Map. Keep the Mind Map clear by using Radiant hierarchy, numerical order or outlines to embrace your branches. Anything that stands out on the page will stand out in your mind.

Mind map guidelines

Think three-dimensionally. Break boundaries. If you run out of space, don't start a new sheet; paste more paper onto the map.
