The sequence followed for preparing graphic layout materials is drawing thumbnail sketches, rough layout, and comprehensive layout. Several thumbnail sketches are usually prepared. The selection is made by the person who is ordering the product.
The rough layout is made up of the thumbnail sketch chosen. This layout is generally the same size as the final product and contains all of the copy and illustrations. Alterations can be easily made between the thumbnail sketch to the rough layout, and again between the rough and the comprehensive layout.
The comprehensive layout is based upon the general arrangements of the thumbnail sketch and the rough layout. This is a precision layout which permits the customer to see what the final product will look like. The overlay sheet generally attached to the base sheet is used to indicate how the final product should be produced. (http://www.typography-1st.com/typo/layouts.shtml)

During the 1990s Ms. Bear desktop-published a small magazine about desktop publishing, co-founded the FidoNet INK echo and AusTINK, both DTP-related groups.

Q. What's the difference between a dummy and a comp?
A. A dummy and a comp (short for comprehensive artwork or composite design) are both mock-ups. Generally comps are the preliminary layouts of several different design options that you show to a client for them to choose from. Some designers may show the client sketched thumbnails. Others may present more complete comps, in full-size, with actual text and images in place -- only missing some finetuning of images and type.
A dummy may be for internal use, ideas for layouts use placeholder text and graphics. Or, you may give your printer a dummy of your design showing how it is to be assembled. This would probably be a laser-printout of your document, trimmed to the final dimensions and folded.
The terms comp, dummy, and mock-up may sometimes be interchanged, but in general a comp is in the early stages of the design process and a dummy is for internal use or for showing the "mock-up of a finished piece" to your printer.
