My Goals

When I'm in the beginning stages of any project, I like to think with paper and pencil. I use exercises like mind mapping and creating lists. I also research the topic before beginning to sketch out ideas for thumbnails. I want to know all of my possibilities with the research I obtain so that I can create the best product possible.

When I am ready to sketch out my ideas for thumbnails, I always want to take into consideration anything that is going to stand out, whether it would be a piece of text, or an important image, or a logo. I think about color schemes, typefaces, patterns, and much more. I want to understand how this design will benefit society.

At this stage, when I am ready to bring my designs to life, I always refer to my brainstorming and thumbnails and refer to my notes when needed. I like to experiment with the ideas I note with my thumbnails, and if I realize something doesn't seem right, I keep experimenting until I find what is beneficial and successful to the design.
