I was messing around in photoshop today, trying to combine tools i dont normally use to get interesting effects – and I came up with a new method for thumbnailing that im finding really enjoyable! I dont know how readable these are to others, but as far as generating ideas for my own end they are working perfectly – just depends whether they need to be shown to the client i guess!
Id say i could get through a sheet of maybe 30-40 of these in an hour, although i was going a bit slower today because I was experimenting. Not a bad way to knock over the initial stage of a job – and a big improvement in my own job workflow.
Please click for the bigger version, as these probably wont read very well with aliasing!

Wow, these are easily readable and amazingly detailed for thumbnails! looks like a great technique to me. Do you mind telling us just a couple of words about it?
Explain the method yes? Honk honk.
I second that. You mean these only take you a couple of minutes each? Wowza howza bowza mowza!
holy shit. how do you do these??
oh do tell us your new method!
ya man you tease!
Oh hai! :D
I wish i could say it was a really exciting uber-teknic, but its really pretty simple. I guess thats what makes it good though eh? Ill write a few words when i post up todays speedies :) Glad they are readable to someone other than me!
30-40 in an hour? :O That’s nigh on unbelievable…
