Of all the mind maps we had came up with and discussed, after considering the pro’s and con’s of each topic, we decided to combine the following three, as we felt we had the most freedom with this due to our knowledge, experiences, access (to experts, for vox pops, our facilities, and so on). We also felt these offered more to explore and is relevant to lots of modern audiences due to the current economy. They also link in well with each other and are all relevant to us, meaning we are likely to be more passionate about these topics, helping us to create a better results.
