Hey class! Don’t forget, as you are working and concepting, sketch your ideas out in “thumbnail” drawings several times before you commit to a composition. Having visual variations of an idea will help you visualize your compositions easier as you move forward with rough drafts and then final projects. Allow yourself time to rearrange information and change focal points and subject matter so you can make the best decisions about your work. Remember: you get ideas by working. Be patient, experiment, and enjoy the process. Take care, and stay creative.
