How many of you sketch out your ideas before actually making them?

sometimes I find it useful to sketch out the layout of a website, or the shape of a logo etc.

But sometimes I cant seem to get my ideas onto paper, and just have to jump straight onto Photoshop or Fireworks. If im working with photos then I find it pretty much useless sketching out ideas, as i just find it easier to play around with different images/effects to see what I can cook up. I didn't do any sketching for the site in my sig, I just found it impossible to sketch ideas for that sort of theme.

Is this the method most of you people tend to have? or is it just me?

Most of the time I sketch things out first. Usually things change a lot from my original sketch to what I end up with, but sketching helps me get started.
Then there are times where I get things in my head that I just cant sketch out on paper so I go straight to my computer!!

Ahhh yeah, same here pretty much

i only sketch with a wacom if im doing an illustration, but other than that i visualize everything in my head and usualy do alot trial and errors and mess around with different things and layouts
