Brainstorming and Mindmapping









We were supposed to use 'maps' to help us get through our thinking process in order to help us generate ideas for our type specimen book. The first mindmap I came up with lead me to thinking about different genres, such as travel, photography, informative, etc. I already knew I wanted to incorporate photographs into the book so I made a second mindmap stemming off of photos this time instead of books. It got me thinking about types of photos whether its a scenic picture of people or a city or whether it goes in the direction of events and political connotations. I came up with 3 ideas for the book: the chicago gay pride parade, artistic photographs or people. After going through options and thinking about the audience I moved onto 2 different ideas: a childrens travel book for the california coast and an events book of chicago.
