Before I build my concept map very often I create an initial piece that just captures some of the thoughts that are running through my head on the subjects that I am tackling. After reviewing the material that Jon Kolko offered I began to create this visual that shows how the stimuli of remnants of experience can contribute to the generation of design concepts.

The previous visual that I posted included the thoughts that came to me during my explorations as well as shows the major factors than can have a major influence in the process.

Final Concept Map is forthcoming.
