Project Thumbnails
May 22, 2018 at 2:12pmI tweeted about this and it got a fair amount of traction, so I thought I'd share it here too!
Are you tired of your project feed looking like a small screenshot of a bunch of screenshots? Follow these simple steps and you can make your project thumbnails look great!
Step 1: First page in your project only has one frame at 620x320
Step 2: Create a cool design in it with fairly large text.
Step 3: Set the canvas color but leave the frame transparent.
Step 4: Bask in the glory of your opulence.
See attachment for before and after!

I've had my thumbnails disappear or struggle to update once a file became too big. What kind of issues are you having?

— biggest thing is making sure there's else on the first page — interested to learn about what other problems ppl are running into! We haven't had any issues...but we do keep our filesizes fairly small.

Here is our setup. Did this awhile ago, and rely heavily on color coding. I highly recommend color to help make things glanceable. And limit words as much as possible. Color is used for status. I like the resource, and archive versions I might have to incorporate that.
