Visual Learner or not, mindmaps can be a great way to write out notes or revise. Personally I use mindmaps to revise notes for an exam! Mindmaps can sometimes be confusing to make, so let me lay it out in a few steps:

Materials

• Paper - Notebook or Loose Sheets; generally blank paper is better for mindmaps. 
  
• Pens - Muji’s Smooth Writing Gel Ink 
             Muji’s Gel Ink Pens (0.5)
             Staedtler Triplus Fineliners  are my faves! 
• Markers/Highlighters -Sharpie Markers (although they do bleed!)
                                       Muji Highlighters
                                       Zebra Mildliners
• Ruler

Layout

• Keep it Simple
  
• Stick to Bullet Points
• Have 3 Main Colours 
• Space it out
• Include diagrams if you need
• Include post-it notes for extra information

The layout I usually follow:

Usually my bullet points would go under each title. 
Try to keep it as neat as possible! It will make it easier to study. 

Tips

• If you dislike writing on blank paper, place lined paper behind the sheet when you’re writing so you can see the lines and keep your writing straight. 
• If you’re a visual learner, include more diagrams, perhaps even use them instead of Titles.
• If you’re using Sharpies, place a blank page behind so it won’t bleed onto the next page or onto the table

Revising

• When you’re not directly studying one of your mindmaps,  stick them up around you! You’ll look at them and learn from them without realising.
• Cover them up and test yourself on them
• They’re perfect for last minute prep before an exam
• You can read over them to refresh your memory
