This week's class was on mind mapping, a concept that i was familiar with due to usage during secondary school for my subjects. it had helped a lot with memorization but it was the first time that i had used it as a creative process, a tool to engage the mind to expand thoughts.

The topic given was common but discussing with my group mates gave me an opportunity to learn more about them, like their dreams and aspirations in life.

Working together was also fun as we come up with designs for the mind map as drawings were needed.

This however makes me a little envious of their artistic ability as i feel that i am more easily connected to words than pictures as i had little experience in engaging drawing as part of my daily life. I can thus improve myself by practicing the craft more often and get use to thinking and filing away things in more artistic sense, to notice more.

Overall, i found the concept and activity very useful as it is a tool that we can use not only now but in the future, a tool to that can lead us to fulfill our dreams as designers, "a happy life".
