While in attendance are more computer code packages out at hand that will assistance
you set out and catalog your items (whether it be designs, images,
music, etc.), many, if not most, are costly, baffling and yet-another-thing
to larn.
Today I privation to meet the chore of organizing your designs on the cut-rate.
We will simply use the run of the mill Windows file system (though this can be
readily through on a Mac). I am going to conversation more or less methods of organizing,
not any OS-specific functionality, so this can be without delay applied to any
type of directory on any net.
So the opening piece we need to analyse is what description of designs we have,
and what would be our best plan of action for start to harmonize them.
With that in mind, we obligation to digit out how lots ways we can class
them. Off the top of my head, I can regard of a few
possibilities within your rights away:

- Few or aforesaid designers (One/Few dedicated camaraderie(ies) or your own)
- Many designers
- Design collections
- Genre or sub-type of designs (animals, flowers, etc.)
- Size of designs (We should bring in a psychological document around these, since dynamic the scope by more than than 20% degrades the trait of the design, and from my experience, thats even pushing it).
Organize
Let's see if we can craft a number of realistic structures for the examples preceding.
Let's cart the prototypic cause of having conscionable a few distinct designers, or you
digitize your own designs. If we are certain that the magnitude of designers is going
to linger unchanging and you will not be budding the numeral of not like creating by mental acts suppliers,
then it would brand knowingness to enter upon intelligent in the region of what kindly of designs you have.
If you have a peculiar reference point audience, let's say you do child clothing or
pet items, past your categories could be small-scale to Boy/Girl/Pet type,
Seasons, Holidays, etc. One article to hold in awareness as we set off subdividing
the categories is that you can get pretty granular, but there's a constituent
of decreasing returns. What we impoverishment is the flair to think,
"OK, I inevitability a bib logo for a baby woman that has a cute Christmas saying" and
be competent to cognize exactly where on earth in your computer it resides.
So let's begin edifice our book. We have, as examples, the next
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 structured based off the syntactic category. If your enterprise is little unstable
(on-demand), next a fluctuation of the above could be more 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 Year/Boy
[top-level]/Baby Designs/Holidays/New Year/Girl
The choice of how to divide the categories is severely important, and can with the sole purpose
be through after analyzing your own in the flesh necessarily.
If our business organization is not as targeted, and we use heaps antithetic sources of designs,
then we have a disparate circumstances. What we want todo is, onetime again, manifestation at our
customer basal and the manner of activity we're asked to do.
[top-level]/Designer 1/Holidays/...
[top-level]/Designer 1/Animals/...
[top-level]/Designer 1/Flowers/...
Again, this is premise to how you activity. We could a moment ago as in good health 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 successive 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 within you have a few suggestions on how to position your designs,
and preserve holding wherever you can discovery them.
Next column, I will build on this concept, and show you how you can tag the
designs you own for unproblematic probing.
