Layout Stages

Step 1: Thumbnails

The point you make small sketch out every and all ideas. No idea(man) is left behind in this step.

Step 2: Roughs

This is where you leave behind ideas. Pick and choose which ideas to refine into rough sketches.

Step 3: Comprehensive

Where the final design is produced from your rough sketches. The only joke I can think for this is 'You haven's even seen my final form!'.

Design Stages

Step 1: Visualiztion

The first phase of brain storming and imagining ideas of the project.

Step 2: Thumbnails

Sketching every idea that comes to mind. Just getting all thoughts on paper before finally filtering or refining any of it.

Step 3: Rough Drafts

Picking up some of the thumbnails/ideas to draw and design them in greater detail.

Step 4: Comprehension

The detailed redesigns and refining of the rough drafts.

Step 5: Mark Up

To finalize the redesigns and finish the project.

Combining Icon Grid

1. Project Goals

The goal is to ultimately combine each icon in a way that feels completely fluid/organic. I would like the objects to combine in a way that shows off the best features rather than be forced.

2. Process

Combining the objects was rather difficult for a few of them. Coming up with ways to use the subjects while not making the image feel to force was rather difficult. Felt rather unsatisfied with how a few came out, while several exceeded my expectations and felt natural to form.
