Use the provided template to sketch 16 small thumbnail ideas.

Using pencil, draw thumbnails for 16 different abstract patterns. As you work on your thumbnails, refer to the work you made in Assignments 1–3, and challenge yourself to create designs that make different use of line, shape, and texture, and that create different focal points for the viewer. 

Once you have 16 unique thumbnails in pencil, apply two contrasting colors of the purest hue (e.g. purple as opposed to violet red, green as opposed to yellow green) to the thumbnails. Consider what could happen when the colors overlap, or how the design might change if you leave certain areas white. 

With the two colors applied, have your work evaluated by (3-5) peers, selecting the three sketches they feel are the strongest. 

Make a rough sketch of the top three thumbnails on the provided template.

Working from the three chosen thumbnails, develop each sketch into a more defined design. In each rough, use different hues of your chosen colors (e.g. adding violet red to purple, or lime to green) to create a sense of motion or energy, calm or stillness in each design. 

With your completed roughs, evaluate your work in the same peer-review manner to select the one rough they feel is the strongest. 

On a clean sheet of plain paper develop the selected rough concept into a neatly executed comprehensive design, working first in pencil and then finishing the comp by making use of their full set of colored pencils.
