Okay, now that we have a good idea of how our page should look like, it‘s NOT time to draw it yet XD !
First it‘s time for research!
This step is often underestimated, but it‘s essential. If you want to create a convincing scenario, searching for reference material is totally unavoidable. Don‘t expect it to „end up looking right somehow“ XD .
Luckily, getting reference images isn‘t much of a problem thanks to Google, iStockphoto, etc.
You can see on the left that i found quite a bit in a short amount of time =)
With this material it‘s now a whole lot easier to draw impressive backgrounds and designs.
But try to use these images as nothing more than an inspiration for your own designs. It's easy enough to copy an image, but if the result ends up lacking your own style and personality, what's the point, really?
