This map was about how someone would come to a decision. The topic I chose to do this mental map about was how a group of friends would decide on where to eat. Some categories I chose to include into the decision process were how big the friend group is, how hungry the group is, and budget. The process I followed was to create a flow chart that would progress to the next option depending on what they chose in the last option. My idea behind the more visual aspect of the map came from a dining table. And each little option or category is a plate on the table. I chose this design concept to connect and reference more to the eating aspect. My design enhances the content because it provides a lot of space for the content while still providing kind of a frame around most of the information.
