Process
Researched ‘Thumbnail process’.
“The first visual forms of an idea are thumbnail (small) sketches (simple drawings). It is important that they be drawn quickly since you want to record your ideas while they are fresh in your mind”.

“Further development of ideas for alternative design solutions needs to be completed by producing thumbnails”. Graphic Design Australian Style Manual (ASM) Chapter 2, page 67-8. The ASM goes onto state that an idea is a designer’s intellectual property and you should always sign your name at the bottom of the page of your thumbnails with the date and the copyright © symbol.

Use the fastest process available to capture ideas and avoid getting into too much detail. Try to create as many unique ideas as possible and then refine them down to the favoured few.
Watched this video by Alphonso Dunn as he explains his thumbnail process.
My name
By completing this activity, I have learnt that it helps to document (simply and quickly) your ideas so that you can refine your creations and produce them into working outcomes for your projects.
The thumbnail process has been recorded in my visual diary. Signatures/Copyright added to the bottom of each page.
I also dropped on over to Craig's blog and was amazed by his work. Left feedback on the course forum for him, it was all positive and well deserved. Check out his post here.
