How do you organize your folders and files for design projects?

    The structure for me looks something like this

    • 00 Pitch
    • 01 IA and UX
    • 02 Design
    • 03 Development
    • 04 Project management
    • 05 From client

      We do something similar to this but with the addition of commercial work done at the start and support folder at the end. Some might feel this is being over organised but once in a flow, it becomes effortless!

        For about a month or two I felt like this is too much, it's "over organised" - weird feeling haha - but as I got used to it just works.

      We used this structure (sorta kinda) in agency land too. Worked fine.

      Yeah, we keep very similar folder structure as well, while individual files are named with date, e.g.: notifications.19-10.sketch. This way it's easy to identity the latest version and at the same time it prevents silly names like "final_15".

        You change the filenames daily? Thought sorting the folder by "Date modified" helps to see the latest version?

        I'm yet to find a bulletproof way to name my files, so interested to hear how you are doing it.
