You're so very right on sketching. Helps to quickly week out the bad ideas and keep the design/concept focused and on track. Thanks for sharing.

It is so much easier and quicker to get all your initial bad ideas out on paper than to go straight to the computer and I am always a lot more happy and satisfied with the out come of the project. Awesome sketches it is so awesome to see the thought process behind design work. I think initial sketches are vital.

The last sketch was just some experimentation using the word 'folk'. I've been a fan Si Scott's for a while and have done a few other pieces like the one above. http://www.wanken.com/src/content/img/personal/dnine/dnine_1.jpg Michael–

"But, we're in a computer graphics class." Then I go on to talk about doing full mockups with no client to artist consensus, wasting time and money, blah, blah, blah....THEY HATE IT. But it's so important!!!

I Sometimes sit down at my computer and feel like I have nothing if I don't have a sketch, but for some reason will force myself into the work. A lot of the projects that were the most successful and smoothest involved lots of sketching to begin with, even if the final product looked nothing at all like the sketches... I'm liking that bottom image - does it say something. Very Si Scott of you... This is so true, yet also for me, the most difficult.
