Folder Structure & File names

1. Each client gets a folder inside our Dropbox
2. If we have multiple major projects with one client, we have multiple subfolders
3. Each client/project folders has the following structure:
   • Client
     • Legal
     • Brand Package
     • Website Assets
4. Each new project or feature goes into a seperate folder of the following structure:
   • YYYY-MM-DD feature name keyword e.g.:
   • 2023-08-01 website menu dark
   • 2023-08-22 print brochure illustration
5. Save source files, print assets or client assets within these folders. These files should be named like the following:
   • client-project-feature-DDDD-MM-YY.ext
   • e.g.:
     • erblotse-website-animation.c4d
     • tiny-monsters-logo-iteration-2023-10-11.psd
6. Website assets should be saved into the “Website Assets” folder, this includes icons, background images, logos. These files should be named to match keywords:
   • carbonfuture-logo.png
   • background-home.png Use descriptive words and avoid spaces or non UTF-8 characters
