Tool Montage Post

This assignment was great. I liked how our groups had to get together and brainstorm off each others ideas. What truly helped me in the process of creating my own tools were the extra mind maps. I know that everyone has different ideas, it was helpful to branch one of mine with another person’s idea.

This is one of my group’s mind map. Exercising mind mapping helped me organize my thoughts with the others. It’s always tough for me to quickly think of creative ideas, however brainstorming on a mind with a team of designers made the process simpler. One of my favorite ideas on this mind map is how we got the idea Cat Nip from others branching off the idea Call.
