UX Polish: Text inside a shape

Many apps allow you to put text inside a shape for mindmapping. A shap around a text is simply another way of formatting an element visually to quickly grasp what it represents. A typical example is using rectangular text elements for mapping out a process and diagonal elements for indicating junctions where a decision is made or the process branches out based on a condition. If you’re allowing users to connect elements with arrows/lines then I assume you want us to be able to do some mindmapping. Visual thinkers can take great advantage of shapes.


Digital OOUX mapping board for a NIMMSA website redesign, using color-coded sticky notes to organize objects and attributes. Main objects include Membership, Donation, Training, Impact, Grant, and Project. Related notes capture details such as membership requirements and tiers, driver training, readings and quizzes, mission and goals, member and non-member grant recipients, forms, projects, and project write-ups. The board visually explores the structure and relationships of content before redesigning the site.
