  How do you organise your job folders?

  Just started my first big agency job and they organise work differently to what I'm used to.

  They keep all assets in the "support" folder, but all main files in "indesign_psd_artwork". Like this...
  

  

  What's the best way you know of? How do you do it?

  Is having so many subfolders a waste of time, or a safeguard against accidentally deleting everything?

  Thanks

  01 – BRIEF & ASSETS
  02 – IMAGES & RESEARCH
  03 – DESIGN
  04 – PRESENTATION
  SENT
  05 – DELIVERY
  01 – WORKING FILES
  02 – FINAL ASSETS

  • Please never say "graphics designs" again.– i_monk
