Starting with a client's creative brief, Ash will demonstrate his design habits from square one. We will practice pulling ideas from the mind and implementing them into artwork. Ash will document the journey from a small thumbnail sketch all the way to a complex final piece.
Homework
Assignment
1. Based on the creative brief, create 3 - 5 thumbnail sketches
Thank you so much for the insightful perspective into your design process, since that was kind of really rather lovely to witness and observe. Its seems like this is going to become a really exhilarating project, and I look forward to diving in!
I'm all excited, doing scribbling and doodling shapes and ideas on A2 paper canvas ;)
Anatolik take a look at https://coggle.it it looks almost like MindNote, and its browser based website tool. You can attach images and links inside. And its free to use.
Yup! That is it :) Maciej uses it for his class and its a really nice, clean, simple program if you don't have Bridge. Thank you for sharing the link with everyone!
really good insight into the process. Mind mapping is really a good tool to pull out the right & focus references. One comment: is it possible to view the videos bigger, looks like it is locked to a frame in the middle. Thanks
