Meeting with Writers
This involves meeting with the writers in order to work out theme ideas. Other meetings with the
storyboarder to gather ideas about content/design interactions and with the programmer to work out programming feasibility is
also an option.
Creating thumbnails
This involved making rough sketches of or gathering preliminary images of proposed design ideas. These
thumbnails usually lead to a final design sketch.
Presenting thumbnails
The thumbnails are usually presented to the group in order for them to get more of a visual idea
of the theme and to offer any suggestions involving content or design.
Organizing the design elements
The process involved gathering each final design into a medium where they were organized for presention
in either a director movie or an HTML document.
