- Course-summary mind map
This was the final project for Visual Cognition: a mind map summarizing the course. I organized course material into diagrams of visual processing, object recognition, and visual search.
I used selected lines from Katy Perry’s Witness as headings, connecting the lyrics to course topics through creative associations. Connector lines in the full poster link those lyrics to the corresponding diagrams. The panels use numbered sequences, branching pathways, and a search loop to show different relationships.
I drew the diagrams, choosing some structures myself and redrawing or adapting others from references. The eye and brain illustration is a stock vector credited below. The poster borrows its palette and layout from Spotify Wrapped.
