Thumbnailing

I chose my favorite introduction spread thumbnail and developed it a further seven times until I resulted with two final favorite designs to take to the computer. This time when developing these thumbnails further I had 100 words of text laid out on an A5 page so I can see how much of the page my introductory text will take up. I also cropped a Wellington map so it just showed all three of my sites which allowed me to see the approximate width:height ratio the map will need to be on the page. With this information in front of me I was able to create much more accurate layout thumbnails.
