Dimensions of Understanding.

When decoding a complex subject such as Biodiversity, it helps to adopt a new perspective of looking at things. A Whole New Mind is a book by Donald H. Pink that helps me do just that. This book enlists Six Essential Senses that come into play when thinking creatively. These senses are Design, Story, Symphony, Empathy, Play and Meaning.

I've adopted these senses as the dimensions of understanding the design process that can be followed to create a storybook. Since the outcome of the project is defined already, the path to it can be paved using these dimensions. 

Using the six dimensions, I have tried to strategize the process and topics that can be addressed through this storybook in the following mind-map.





These dimensions lend themselves in enriching a designer-user contribution to the project, as seen in the actor's map below.
