Creating thumbnails
Thumbnails represent scaled down versions of a final composition. For a project where the final size is 9" x
12", thumbnails might be approximately 2" x 2-2/3", large enough to show some detail, but small enough to
work quickly.
Thumbnails enable you to make decisions about how you wish to present your content without investing a lot
of time.
Make sure your thumbnails have the same proportions as the final composition.
Include all of the elements - images, text, and other graphic devices that will make up the final composition.
Keep in mind that even though thumbnails help you make decisions, changing scale to full size often changes
the final layout.
