This one might seem obvious, but is has saved our butts so many times: Naming your files properly.

Our project files names always contain the following information: Client, project, type of asset and date.

This makes it easy to stay organised and find your projects later. Avoid acronyms and abbreviations, and resist the urge to call your files “Final.psd” – you will thank us later.

This is part of a series of 24 design secrets we want to share with you – one for every day before the holidays.
