THUMBNAIL
ˈthəm-ˌnāl, n
A term used to describe a small, often low-
quality, sketch used to convey a concept
quickly. Thumbnails are used during the
early stages of a project as an integral part
of the design process; often, the fi nal design
emerges through the generation of many
increasingly refi ned thumbnails. The term
can also be used to refer to smaller, low-
resolution images that serve as placeholders
for their high-resolution versions. An online
image gallery, for example, might display
dozens of thumbnails on a single webpage
for easy viewing and quick page loading. This
has become such common practice that the
very presence of thumbnails often suggests
to users that high-resolution versions exist,
and are likely just a click away.

TEXTURE
ˈteks-chər, n
The perceived tactile quality of a design ele-
ment or layout. Although texture is typically
used to describe three-dimensional attri-
butes, such as a paper’s surface, it is also
used when referring to those same qualities
conveyed or suggested in two-dimensional
design work. Various patterns and gradients,
for example, can lend a sense of texture, es-
pecially when set in contrast to smooth, uni-
form elements. Certain printing techniques,
such as block printing, also provide texture.
Even a page of type, with its strong vertical
and horizontal rhythms, has a certain texture
to it, determined by how the type is set. When
such texture is relatively even across a page
or layout, the type has what typographers
call “good color.”

TEXT WRAPPING
ˈtekst ˈra-piŋ, n
A term used in a generic sense to describe
the way in which one line of type ends and
continues automatically on the subsequent
line. Editing a line of type will often cause sev-
eral other neighboring lines to rewrap. More
specifi cally, the term is used to describe how
lines of type can be made to “wrap” around
other design elements, such as photos and
illustrations. See also H&J.
