Layout sketching
why |
When you are creating a presentation of a complex nature like presenting a project, you want to make sure that your audience gets the information that you want them to have, and you should use your layout to ensure that it is conveyed in a appropriate manner that supports your story.
To make sure that you do not end up letting your skill level or the IT tool limit you, its a very good idea to start by making a layout sketch on a piece of paper... consider this your basic skeleton for your layout... |
how |
start with thumbnail sketches... this makes it easier not to get tied up in details to begin with,
try out different versions of your layout on this level.. perhaps 4-5, then draw your layouts a little bit bigger and try to measure this time (using a measure grid and manifold helps, simply a ruler (scale ruler is really practical here) flesh out 2 different layouts to chose from. collect your resources and begin working with adobe:) |
