This site offers a step-by-step process of generating thumbnail sketches. The author of this site echoes the textbook's stress on the importance of this seemingly insignificant step. It can be a real time saver to help develop a composition from its earliest conception when my ideas are still a little fuzzy.

Read the pages 65-75 those pages talke about the new media for architectue. For example, the new ways to sketch Coon designed a program 'sketchup' that the user can sit and on a computer pad sketch what they invision in into the computer.

D#1, HW#13 I really enjoyed this website for a couple different reasons. First of all, the design process is similar to that in the book, but yet it has a different approach because it is for an architectural piece, instead of a web site or banner for example. I also enjoyed it because it is not only a list of the concepts for the designer process, but it is also the steps that this particular architectural design teams uses and wants to share with their customers. This shows those customers that they have a structured plan and as a customer you can know where you are in the time line of your design and build process. Although the design process is not exactly the same as the book, it uses the same concepts from beginning with a blank page and sketching out ideas, to ending with details helping to make the project personal to the audience.

This article relates to Chapter 1 of "Basic of Design". It reinforces the 6 steps for a design and gives an in depth example for every step. It helps you analyze and create a purpose; provides you with brainstorming rules to successfully jot down your ideas without judgement; it helps you go through a selection process which relates to thumbnail sketches and comp, etc. 

Essential part of layout design. Truthfully I would have been one to overlook this. This is an appropriate article for me to make this an important step. Not feeling creative myself I need the muscle practice.
