Connection of Minds – Infographics Conference 2014

Project Description

On March 14, 2014 LiveMindMapper Alexis van Dam was present at the Infographic Conference 2014 in Zeist, The Netherlands. The theme for the 7th edition of this annual event was Visualizing Me: about quantifying yourself in the age of big data. The creator’s signature touch is visible in all infographics.

Thanks for the mindmap. Fascinating! As I said to you the other day, it’s amazing how you could do this in such a short time. I think this approach has a big future in our info-crazy world.

Battle Live Digital Mapping vs Sketchnote

ic14-battle-606x380 LiveMindMapper Alexis van Dam went head to head with Tyra van Mossevelde. The battle consisted of 3 rounds (talks/ presentations), in which
Tyra and Alexis both took notes their own way. Tyra used Adobe Ideaz on her iPad and sketched the contents in drawings. Alexis used 4 different mindmap software tools and tested these n the fly to find out which software is best to make live mindmaps. After each round they both showed their visualisation of a predetermined talk to the audience. The audience could decide which form of visualisation (sketch or mindmap) was best.
