• concept art
• visualisation diagrams
• flat plans
• prototypes
• mock up

concept art- concept art is a type of illustration used to convey an idea for use in films, video games, animation, comic books, or other media before it is put into final product

example: Zayn Malik (pillow talk)

visualisation diagram:

• a rough diagram used to plan a product
• the diagram is static, hand drawn or produced on design software but not moving
• usually shows the proposed design of a text in some detail
• used to assess the financial and logistic viability of the creative teams design

flat plans:

• a 2d drawing which represents how all elements are laid out in a print or web based text
• includes all elements which will be in the final product
• allows the designer to see if proportions of each element are correct and that all required elements are included
• detail of each aspect is not included purely a layout tool with each element labelled.
• can also be used to plan the layout of a tv studio, prior to cameras coming in
• must be quick and easy to modify so that layout changes can be made with minimal fuss.

prototypes:

• early model of a media product
• allows early testing
• won't include all details and stylish elements
• test functionality
• its a way to test if key, core, functional elements are all working

mock up: 

• similar to flat plans & wire frames, but contain more detail, such as content and colour schemes
• shown to clients to gain feedback before the final version
• used in print and online media
• new software means that page mock ups for interactive products now often include their interactive elements, this is now becoming a hybrid with a prototype.
