Organize Your References

Keep your references as organized as possible. Look at what I have done below. 

All the elements on each of these pages go together. From the images themselves to the analysis and word stacks that I have added. Whenever you are putting your references together, make sure they're all neatly organized, along with a brief but trenchant analysis (if necessary) of the images you're using. 

Having clean and clear references right from the start helps to clarify the direction that the design will be going and it gives the artist something to fall back on throughout the process.
