We love Marie Kondo. And with that being said, this includes organizing & structuring our project folders. A consistent structure allows us to quickly locate the needed files and makes developer & client hand-off way easier.
And in case of an emergency that a shipmate is out cold – any member of the team can quickly jump in and know where to assist. We also take our naming conventions seriously.
We like to keep everyone's Google Drive clean. Some other prefer to sync in their files using Google Backup and Sync, while others would like to access it without losing precious hard drive space using Google File Stream.
Being a neat freak does have its advantages. But we don't really want to spend all our time just organizing. So we keep it simple for now:
🦄 Team Abstract
🚩 Core (Anything internal)
🚩 Projects (All project files)
💎 Client Name
✨ Project Scope 1
01 Assets
02 Source
03 Deliverables
✨ Project Scope 2
✨ Project Scope 3
01 Assets
For project assets (fonts, logos, documents or anything sent by the client)
02 Source
For source files (psds, ai, ae, sketch)
03 Deliverables
For exported files (png, jpg, mp4)
