2 THINK WITH THUMBNAILS

Start with thumbnails that are the same size ratio and orientation as your final image. If I thumbnail at the wrong dimensions I’ll end up with all my balances off-kilter, and have to rework my design. During this early stage I solve much of the design problems before even thinking about the final image. The delicate balancing of elements can lead to a strong image, while a slight misplacement can change or alter the impact of the image you’re creating.
