The Dark Mind?

I started with an initial mind map of what I gathered from the word psychology since that is generally what my project is about. Rather than starting with research on the state of mind I though having a general idea of what I could possibly do with this topic. A simple mind map is always a good start to a project, in my opinion at least.
I started my sit baling some ideas on my own, accompanied by random drawings that come to my mind when I think of the word psychology, since that's technically the topic of my project.

I followed this by asking people what they thought of the title. What is The Dark Mind? Finding the public's insight on what they thing my title means is very valuable because it could cause confusion in the future is not interpreted correctly.

Getting people's opinions online is also a very useful technique. Because answers may be biased depending on region or surroundings. It can also depend on how comfortable a person is in terms of communication. A person could give a completely different answer online and anonymously than they would in physically in person.

I googled a few words relating to my theme and I saw a pattern; people doing their hand in dramatic manners to express pain.

I also googled a few other words relating to my theme, such as; psychology, depression, mental illness and analysed a few pictures.

A more formal approach was to create a questionnaire which was based on the general idea of my theme The Dark Mind. These also help with further research on my theme such as books and films to look at, or ask opinions from psychology students for my path of research.
