I find it extremely helpful when preparing for a project to do a mind map of ideas and words, it also helps to clear my mind and organise my thoughts. They act as a way of remembering things you may have forgotten or might have not of thought of if you were simply listing ideas, this also helps me to think more creatively finding more descriptive words or help me to put more than one idea together.
I personally think that listening to con
vocations and being with company helps thoughts pop into my head, almost working as a slightly different type of mind map. Having a radio or the television on in the background also works in a similar way if I am alone, not only does this help me with ideas but it also helps me to write essays.
This mind map shows time management, the use of pictures helps to visualise the notes and especially appeals to a creative person like myself.
Managing a creative enviroment
I personally am a bit of a hoarder, I enjoy keeping memories whether big or small and this can sometimes be seen within my work. I also love a bi
t of extravagance and ornate objects and being surrounded by this is my idea of heaven especially within a working environment. Some people enjoy being in a very simple room when working to help them think but I feel that being surrounded by things I find interesting and beau
tiful helps to inspire me and help my creative mind.
I feel that this lifestyle is reflected in my work as I have an obsession with perfection for every little detail when it
comes to doing my work and making something that I am very interested in.
Things such as this butterfly collection I find fascinating and is also an excellent stem to start drawing from. Even in my own bedroom every little trinket and object tells a story or has a fond memory and this visually helps my creative thoughts.
