Mind maps
September 2015
As we start high school, we want to learn more about ourselves. In this project we had to pick symbols that have a meaning to us. We picked symbols, photos, words, or phrases that have a meaning to us. We first had to sketch different images by printing them out and tracing them onto a blank piece of paper. We then scanned those images onto our laptops using a scanner. We opened those images in Adobe Illustrator to add color and resize them. I wanted my mind map to show all of my interests including surfing and photography. So for that I chose to draw a surfboard and a camera. The other main symbols include a coffee mug for my love of coffee, a Harry Potter Deathly Hallows symbol because it is my favorite novel series, and a yin-yang symbol because I think that there is always bad in good and the good in bad. If I were to go back and do this again, I would probably add more images to make it more detailed.
