This is the mindmap I made when I first heard about the Identity project. I wanted to get all my ideas about what comprises someone's identity down in one place so that I could come back and reference it throughout the project. I thought about appearance, which I thought played a big part in identity. This is because it includes many other things. Of course, there is self-expression; the way you style your hair, the way you dress, whether you wear makeup or shave or follow beauty standards, but there is so much more. Appearance can also encompass race and community and the traditional styles each community has. Another thing I considered when thinking about Identity was personality; what we like and what we don't, political views, aspirations and fears, who you're friends with, how you choose to spend your time. There's so much more to Identity than first meets the eye. It's more than just one word can sum up due to all its different components. That's what I thought about when introduced to this topic.
