It's not sexy, but regardless of what your role is or where you work, we all need to name and save files daily. A foolproof system will help prevent a designer's worst nightmare: losing hours of work. Do you have clients that routinely go back and forth with their design choices? Are you working with a team that has a haphazard way of organizing projects? Are you ready to pull your hair out? Save time and your sanity by learning an easy, adaptable file naming and organization system. I'll show you the file name breakdown I use, how to revise file names, a file folder organization system for both assets and projects, and how to break down the folders within those projects, among other things. These few minutes with me could save you countless minutes in the future!
