In this class, we discussed our mind maps!We kind of had a review in which we saw everyone’s maps and noted down the points that were common and uncommon in our maps.
Personally, I was very sure that I wanted to pursue Communication design but still it was a fun process for me to dig into some details about two completely different yet complementary fields ie Product design and Strategic design management design. I also understood the difference between a Design’s purpose and its context.
Communication itself is such a vast topic. At times when someone asks me what it exactly is, I have to think for a minute to even know where to begin! I also looked at the mind maps ( for communication ) which my peers had made, and these were my observations-
• Some categories were really well organized and I had a gist of that category in a way that was not confusing
• I came to know more in detail about categories I had not included in mine or had included but not written that deeply about, ie art and illustrations
• Some maps were rigid and as a viewer I was unable to understand what exactly communication design was through these maps.
