Making up mind maps is not that easy, considering whom you're going to present to. But to me, creating a mind map that we ourselves can easily understand is not that hard. It's all about understanding the information given and write them in a short simple sentence that connect one to another. Visual mind-map are mind-maps made but imagery rather than words. But this can become complicated since some words can't be describe by one or two pictures easily.
The most important thing I learn when creating a mind-map that is meant for yourself or to present others is that your mind-map must be Hierarchy. The main topic to the littlest details of it's sub topic must connected and make the users know where to look first so we or them can understand which comes first. The other thing that I always keep in mind is try to make something that our eyes will tend to stay or want to look at it. Make sure it's not dull and attracts our attention in wanting to know and understand the mind-map more.
But alas, since there are dozens of different opinions, likes, dislikes from us humans is what makes our job in trying to amuse someone with our creativity can be annoying to do it. Sometimes we even tend to give after trying many different ways and still fail to attract the eyes of our viewers. And this is why we have to study our audience first and try to get their impression as soon as possible so that they won't be all moody to look at other stuffs we tend to or have already created. Bottom line, being creative means hard work, observing smartly, a tough heart and a lot encouragement to keep ourselves up and ready. But the most important thing is to never give up and try your best.
