Imagination is the way in which you use your mind to create the links that have the most meaning for you. The more strongly you imagine and visualize a situation, the more effectively it will stick in your mind for later recall. Mnemonic imagination can be as violent, vivid, or as sensual as you like, as long as it helps you to remember what needs to be remembered. For example by setting one Mnemonic in my bedroom I can set another one in my living room. Using the three fundamentals of association, imagination and location you can design images that strongly link things between themselves and other things, in a context that allows you to recall those images in a way that does not conflict with other images and associations.
Mnemonics uses many methods to enhance memorization like peg word, chunking and loci techniques.
Peg word uses words rather than numbers to remember. The peg-words are visually associated with the words that you are attempting to remember. For example to remember the Ten Commandments we can use the peg word list which is bun, shoe, tree etc. With bun, which represents one, we can create a visual image in our mind that illustrates the first commandment and includes a bun. We go through this same method for each peg-word and commandment.
