Concept Sketches

  • Decide on your top thumbnail sketch.
    • Choose based on feedback you received from your Art Director (In this case ME.) and your peers, as well as your own passion and design sense.
  • Research additional reference images needed and a create a mood board of inspiration for Assignment One. Collect any reference images needed to fully realize the concept.
  • Create mock-ups using digital media or traditional to aide in rapid work.
  • Sketch at least 2 Concept Sketches full size, not thumbnail size. (You can also work at 125% or larger in proportion to the template if you prefer drawing larger.)

EXAMPLES:

Compare in these examples the Approved Thumbnail sketch and the corresponding Concept Sketch. Consider where changes were made.
