Mind map has been discovered since the 3rd century and was improvised during the early 1960s by Allan M. Collins and M. Ross Quillian(Wikipedia). Tony Buzan was the creator of modern mind mapping. Mind map is a great tool for idea generation and brainstorming.
It enhances both sides of the human brain, widely used to take notes, research and generating ideas. Mind map also able to stimulate and create interest to the creator and the viewer.
There are few different mind maps. Logical mind map is explained directly and connected to the stereotype. It can be defined as stereotype.
The usage of Logical Mind Map:
- know what your subject matter is.
- can divide it and have more understanding about it.
- the main subject allows you to recall back the small and detail thing about it.

Associated mind map is able to generate random words and also show the links between words that seemingly have no connection. Random things can be put together after the main subject . All subject does not have to be connected to the main subject. It is useful to put up ideas and generate fast thinking.
The usage of Associated Mind Map:
- generate idea quickly.
- generating all the random ideas is a good way of having idea.
- it can then be exploited in many ways.
- very open to any subject
These are the rules of Mind mapping. (Taken from Tony Buzan’s Rules for Mind Mapping)
1. Start in the centre with an image of the topic, using at least 3 colours.
2. Use images, symbols, codes and dimensions throughout your Mind Map.
3. Select key words and print using upper or lower case letters.
4. Each word/image must be alone and sitting on its own line.
5. 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.
6. Make the lines the same length as the word/image.
7. Use colours – your own code – throughout the Mind Map.
8. Develop your own personal style of Mind Mapping.
9. Use emphasis and show associations in your Mind Map.
10. Keep the Mind Map clear by using radial hierarchy, numerical order or outlines to embrace your branches.
