XMind: ZEN Makes Your Mind Map Move and Dance

One important principle of mind mapping is: use pictures. As the core element of the mind map, pictures stimulate visual perception, trigger associations, strengthen creative thinking and effectively improve memory. So, what magic will it create when mind map encounters dynamic images?

First, let’s enjoy some mind maps from our users.

4 steps to make a dynamic mind map
