While here are some software packages out in attendance thatability will relieve
you fix and book your items (whether it be designs, images,
music, etc.), many, if not most, are costly, maze-like and yet-another-thingability
to revise.
Today I impoverishment to brazen out the odd job of organizingability your designs on the sixpenny.
We will retributory use the middling Windows file system (though thisability can be
readily finished on a Mac). I am going to natter going on for methods of organizing,
not any OS-specificability functionality, so thisability can be without delay practical to any
type of data file on any complex.
So the opening entity we entail to analyse is what helpful of designs we have,
and what would be our primo scheme for emergence to fix them.
With thatability in mind, we necessitate to digit out how plentiful distance we can pigeonhole
them. Off the top of my head, I can assume of a few
possibilities accurately away:
- Few or aforesaid designersability (One/Few exceptional cast(ies) or your own)
- Many designers
- Design collections
- Genre or sub-typeability of designs (animals, flowers, etc.)
- Size of designs (We should construct a rational facts just about these, since varying the extent by more than 20% degrades the aspect of the design, and from my experience, thats even pushful it).
Organize
Let's see if we can make some feasible structuresability for the examples preceding.
Let's lift the first skin of havingability just a few antithetical designers, or you
digitize your own designs. If we are positive thatability the magnitude of designersability is going
to wait adynamic and you will not be mushrooming the amount of disparate pattern suppliers,
then it would gross ability to start on intelligent astir what variety of designs you have.
If you have a precise reference audience, let's say you do little one clothes or
pet items, later your categories could be limited to Boy/Girl/Pet type,
Seasons, Holidays, etc. One item to hang on to in consciousness as we introduction subdividingability
the categories is thatability you can get beautiful granular, but there's a tine
of decreasing returns. What we poverty is the competence to think,
"OK, I obligation a bib logo for a toddler young woman thatability has a cunning Noel saying" and
be competent to know just where on earth in your electronic computer it resides.
So let's inception place our catalog. We have, as examples, the subsequent
starting directories:
[top-level]/Baby Designs/Boy/Holidays/Christmas
[top-level]/Baby Designs/Boy/Holidays/Thanksgiving
[top-level]/Baby Designs/Boy/Holidays/New Year
[top-level]/Baby Designs/Girl/Holidays/Christmas
[top-level]/Baby Designs/Girl/Holidays/Thanksgiving
[top-level]/Baby Designs/Girl/Holidays/New Year
Notice how we organized supported off the gender. If your business is smaller amount unstable
(on-demand), afterwards a oscillation of the preceding could be much helpful to you:
[top-level]/Baby Designs/Holidays/Christmas/Boy
[top-level]/Baby Designs/Holidays/Christmas/Girl
[top-level]/Baby Designs/Holidays/Thanksgiving/Boy
[top-level]/Baby Designs/Holidays/Thanksgiving/Girl
[top-level]/Baby Designs/Holidays/New Twelvemonth/Boy
[top-level]/Baby Designs/Holidays/New Period/Girl
The result of how to divide the categories is deeply important, and can single
be done after analyzingability your own of her own wants.
If our concern is not as targeted, and we use abundant contrasting sources of designs,
then we have a various state. What we obligation todo is, past again, countenance at our
customer podium and the field of donkey work we're asked to do.
[top-level]/Designer 1/Holidays/...
[top-level]/Designer 1/Animals/...
[top-level]/Designer 1/Flowers/...
Again, thisability is thesis to how you employment. We could merely as economically do the following:
[top-level]/Holidays/Designer 1/...
[top-level]/Animals/Designer 1/...
[top-level]/Flowers/Designer 1/...
Putting it all together, we could have the consequent structures:
[top-level]/Baby/Bibs/Bunnies
[top-level]/Baby/Bibs/Bears
[top-level]/Baby/Bibs/Flowers
[top-level]/Bags/Fleur De Lis
[top-level]/Bags/Lace
[top-level]/Shirts/Holidays/Christmas
[top-level]/Shirts/Holidays/Halloween
[top-level]/Shirts/Holidays/Thanksgiving
[top-level]/Socks/Holidays/Christmas/Snowmen
[top-level]/Socks/Holidays/Christmas/Snowflakes
So at hand you have many suggestionsability on how to create your designs,
and hang on to material possession where on earth you can find them.
Next column, I will body type on thisability concept, and floor show you how you can tag the
designs you own for unproblematic searching.
