ALL ABOUT DOODLE



Doodle is a type of sketch, an unfocused drawing made while a person's attention is otherwise occupied. They are simple drawings which can have a meaning, a shape or just irregular forms.
It is well established that much of our creative expression is birthed in the subconscious mind. To use creative expression and solutions in your everyday life,it is necessary to dip into the subconscious at will. Doodling is one way of doing this.
Doodling allows the unconscious to render in symbolic expression.Symbols have universal as well as personal meaning.When you are stuck for an answer to a problem or looking for creative innovation, the technique of doodling will unleash the hidden symbolic powers of the subconscious mind.
The PROJECT
This project aims at exploring various innovative methods to create doodles and then use it as a technique for self introspection and communication. a channel to let your thoughts out.A method for mind mapping , helping in learning and making visual maps. It also aims at providing a collaborative graphical chat space. To use this non –verbal method of communication to create new graphics, explore new ideas and share thoughts. This system would be a tool for mapping inner space, and creating visuals for both communication and for personal reflection.
Various concepts could be build around it like sort of an association game,a place to maintain your doodles like sort of a scrap book , for self introspection and personal reflection purposes,to be able to doodle when listening to music or watching a video .. sharing thoughts...creating graphics.... building on to an another doodle.. collaboration.... .... ... ideas .. ideas.. ideas...!!!!!!
Hence it aims at exploring and finding the use of doodling to its full extent, and be able to use it as a useful, efficient and at the same time a fun tool for learning and thinking and being creative.
