To start off my ideation for my final project I created a mind map including some ideas that I am interested in writing about. Then in a different colour, I started to include some more specific ideas on the topics. I used a method we were taught last year which was successful, I picked two random ideas, and tried to come up with an idea that included these topics. Below is what I came up with.

I chose 5 topics that seemed the most interesting to me, I took each of these ideas and created a mind map, expanding on the notes I had for each idea. Leading me to a few strong ideas in which I need to compare, I feel like at this moment the one that I am graviatating toward the most is the pregnancy app one, I think there is definitely problems surrounding this topic which could be positively impacted through a type of product pr service. Below are the mind maps I created for each idea.

From this, I had 5 ideas that were decided through the focus on each idea, however I have 5 ideas which needs to be narrowed down. I completed a SWOT Analysis of each of these ideas, through comparing and contrasting I eliminated 2 ideas due to the realities of these becoming a real life functional app through laws and regulations. I believe these apps are also very similar to apps already, which was another factor for not deciding on these to move forward with.

The topics I am moving forward with are Pregnancy app, Homeless Service and the Travelling product.

After, deciding on the 3 ideas, I decided to draw out 3 more mind maps focusing on each idea. For some reason, these mind maps have been really impactful in my ideations stage and they are providing me with lots of progress, therefore I am continuing my use of these. Below are the mind maps I drew out.
