What Do MapCI Cards Do?

Diagrams, instructions, and visual explanations are often hard to understand and use. Many designers struggle with basic steps in the process such as understanding the problem, getting familiar with the users, organizing content, extracting meaning, and deciding the most appropriate way of translating that meaning into visual language. MapCI Cards provides support and guidance for these steps!
