The review strategy can be broken down into three steps:
- Initial Sorting: Quickly group the thumbnails into three categories – strong, promising, and weak – based on instinctive reaction to composition and emotional resonance.
- Criteria Assessment: Apply a set of objective criteria to the “strong” and “promising” groups using the table below. Assign a score of 1‑5 for each criterion.
- Final Selection: Add the scores for each sketch; the three with the highest totals move forward to full‑size development. Re‑evaluate if any scores are tied, considering personal connection.
| Criterion | Purpose | Score (1‑5) |
| Relevance to brief | Ensures the work meets the assignment’s requirements. | |
| Emotional impact | Measures how strongly the sketch communicates feeling. | |
| Composition balance | Assesses visual stability and focal points. | |
| Technical feasibility | Considers whether the idea can be executed with available media. | |
| Personal resonance | Reflects the artist’s own connection to the subject. |
Using this structured approach ensures the final three sketches are chosen for both objective quality and personal relevance.
