Worksheet #7 - Thumbnails & Content Maps |
| Activity #1 Create 12-24 Thumbnails | |
Using the form provided, Create between 12 and 24 thumbnail sketches of possible Splash page, Home page or site template page. A thumbnail is a pencil sketch of small, quickly produced exploratory designs for the pages using shapes and scribbles. You should brainstorm, draw anything that comes to mind and not dwell on right or wrong ideas. As you review the sketches, you will find 2-3 promising designs and perhaps include peices of the other thumbnail designs that you like for your next step. Click here

| Activity #2 Produce a Design Rough or a Comp | |
Once you select the 2-3 promising thumbnails, you would usually produce a Design Rough. A design Rough is an intermediate step between a thumbnail sketch and a finished Comp. You will choose one of the thumbnails or peice several together to produce either a drawing or a digital layout. A "Comp" is short for comprehensive. It is a design/artwork ready to present to your client or for yourself that is nearly finished. It may not be functional but is a digital version of your Design Rough that puts together your design concept in terms of imagery, graphic elements, and type as it would likely appear. Click here
