design a quick visual comprehensiveset up the page

using photoshop to measure and do layoutcreating a few styles of text

linking it all together

let’s take a look at the homework

just some simple sketchwork

let’s talk about process

start with paper and a pencil

sketch, sketch, sketch

show your sketches to peopletalk to them about the sketches

take notes and sketch while you talk

sketch, sketch, sketch again

then you can open photoshop

make some digital sketches

show your digtial sketches to peopletalk to them about the digital sketches

take notes and sketch while you talk

do some research along the way

rinse, repeat

when you get to a digital design that ‘feels right’ and tells the

story you’d like to convey

now you can ‘code it up’

and now ...
