This is a map that tracks a thought process. The process includes multiple kinds of decisions, such as true/false and multiple choice decisions. Other decisions in my map are purely arbitrary or based on the environment or available materials. For my map, I chose to show all of the decisions it takes to choose a way to play music. I thought this would be useful to discover new ways to play music and playlists.
The most difficult part of making this was the initial sketch stage, because each decision must sequentially narrow down to only one option at the end. Or, if it leads to many options, there must be a way for the paths to reach all the options. So, although it was difficult to iron out exactly where all the paths would go so that the map is legible, I think this map works well.
After solidifying each stage, I created icons and a color scheme to distinguish each decision from the other. Each critique helped me further organize the map, add directional arrows, and make sure each decision led to a logical point. I am very satisfied with the final product.
