Mindmapping for visual creatives is a must in my opinion. It losens up the creative block and gives you options you were not aware of…try it. Graphic Designers should check this post and see if they can intergrate it into their design process.

Used mainly in interior design to capture mood of clients, this is great for Branding/design issues. As well as capturing vague wooly head-in-th-cloud thinking. Pretty basic, but free (ah a real deal winner) it allows you to drag-n-drop images from the web (via a firefox plug-in) to create collages. There are other collage making apps out there, but this seems quite a nice simple solution. It could do with some collaborative capabilities o get people from remote sites working together on the same moodboards (as would be done in face-to-face meetiings ‘moodboard’ sessions), but this is still sort of in beta.
