Here are examples of storyboards and concept art you can refer to as you start work on your Post-it Note thumbnails. Please note the different approaches and techniques, including quick ink-line thumbnails, tonally-shaded boards that use charcoal, and fully-colored work.
Elements to think about with regards to composing the image in the frame:
• size/scale relationships: vary the size of actors and objects within the composition to create rhythm, interest, and visual hierarchy: how do you direct the viewer's gaze?
• value: use of shading to reinforce visual clarity and focus, and to create atmosphere (time of day, mood, etc.)
• symmetry vs. asymmetry: centered objects tend to stabilize the frame, while off-centered objects can direct the viewer's gaze and create tension
• negative/positive space: the presence of interlocking, activated silhouettes in the frame creates dynamic tension, and helps to focus and clarify the viewer's gaze, making for an "easy read"
• horizon line: at what angle are we viewing the image? eye-level tends to feel "normal," whereas views looking either up or down make a statement about status, give information about the environment, or otherwise add interest to what the viewer feels. A "Dutch," or canted angle can create a sense of unease or disorientation.
