Thumbnail Sketches for editorial assignment

STEP 1 BEGIN IN CLASS

REMEMBER:

  • Using a Ruler make 10 -15 boxes in your sketchbook approx 2-3″ on the longest side.
    • Always draw thumbnail boxes in proportion to your final art!
    • Be sure thumbnails don’t share edges. Leave a space between boxes.
  • Fill these boxes with 10 – 15 thumbnail sketches exploring your concepts.
  • Look at your word web/inspiration board as you explore your concepts visually.

Concept Sketches

    • 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 : Collect any reference images needed to fully realize each design concept.
  • Create mock-ups using digital media to aide in rapid work.
  • Sketch 2-3 Concept Sketches.

EXAMPLES:

Compare the approved thumbnail sketch with the corresponding concept sketch. Consider where changes were made.
