Using the seven colours of the rainbow as an example palette and the theme of a Mind Map here is a quick tip regarding colour placement
When adding images, the colour you use for each image has a dramatic effect on the overall appearance – I am using clip art here to demonstrate; view the colours only, rather than thinking what colour each object might normally be:
Colours rearranged, the images fall in similar areas yet this version is more interesting – the colours help bounce the eye around the Mind Map and also make it more pleasing to view as a whole:
The ideas above are not hard and fast rules and the differences are often subtle, yet worth considering when building your Mind Maps or any other artistic compositions
If you wish to learn more about how I draw my Mind Maps I have three E-Books covering the drawing and idea generation techniques that I use. The E-Books are designed to help you create stylish and artistic mind maps of your own:
The beginner level E-Book is “Drawing Tips for Mind Mapping”
Next step up is the E-Book “How I Drew my Mind Maps”
The secrets to my idea generation are revealed in the E-Book “Idea Creation”
