- 1
Set the design subject in advance.
- 2
Write text, images, or other design elements representing the design subject at the center of the paper.
- 3
Extract images and text associated (generated) from the design elements written in STEP 1 and place them on thick curved lines radiating from the center.
- 4
Place images and text newly associated (generated) from the design elements extracted in STEP 2 on thinner branching lines. Once enough elements have accumulated, look at the entire paper and contemplate the design subject to associate (generate) new design elements.
Tips & Tricks
To make the overall structure easier to grasp, vary line thickness and color, such as making lines near the center thick and lines extending outward thin.
To generate diverse ideas, use not only words but also symbols, diagrams, photographs, and other images for elements.
