thumbnail time

Before I graduated from my portfolio school, we had a class that was dedicated to the flow of our final work.  Our teacher, who is very skilled at what she does, had us bring in "thumbnails" of our work and helped us sort through them. She told us to think about the flow of colors, shapes, and the subject matter of our pieces.  It's not always an easy task, but it's very helpful to do and well worth the time & effort.
