The study uses a Mind Maps program to analyze the aesthetic values of products, where aesthetic values are among the most important values in design, which are difficult for the designer to display at specific points, because of the multiplicity of details on which the product can be assessed aesthetically, where mental maps are considered A simple, easy, fun style that enables the designer to reach the smallest details, in a simple and easy way to operate the brain lobe and provide details that are difficult to access, and the study relies on the descriptive analytical approach | ||
