Unit 12 Live Brief. 27/11/2016

During this quiet Sunday afternoon, I constructed two A3 exploratory mind maps-the first being a breakdown of the various assessment criterion-and how I am to evidence an achievement of each these. The second mind was intended, to explore all-and any-thoughts and ideas that sprang to mind, about the theme of the project- which is simply; Mother & Child. Both mind maps were completed using colour pencil, highlighter for selection and direction biro pen.

 For the mind map regarding the theme, I applied as many perspectives a I could, looking at the different viewpoints, surrounding motherhood, pregnancy, and offspring. Some controversial and taboo-even in the 21st century, as well as positive and negatives contemplated. 

Miniature visuals were added to the first mind map-an element which I felt was most successful- as it gave the map amore creative feel. As the second map consisted of non-physical items-I felt that visual were not needed, at the information alone provided to be enough. Noting that the first mind was overlapped onto the back of the page, splitting its content into two separated parts.

Upon reflection, if I was to do either mind map again-I would choose to do the first mind map on an A2 sheet- as it turned out to be larger than expected.
