Mind Mapping
Rules of Mind Mapping by Tony Buzan
1. Start in the center with an image of the topic, using at least 3 colors
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 or 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 center.
