Notes Design

From working with wide range of projects, I have learned one thing: designers are lazy (sometimes myself included). Most often it comes from our desire to get a quick signoff and move on with the next project. While several posts could have been written on this, I offer here a few suggestions guaranteed to make things at least a little bit easier in the end:

• Name your layers and folders.
  What the heck do "Layer 234" and "Block Right Copy 23" mean? Have you ever tried to work with someone else's files and find that one layer within several hundreds of them?
• Make sure you cover most case scenarios.
  Nothing can be worse for integration developers to guess how something needs to look or interact. Design for the worst case scenario first and only then look at the best case scenario — you are always good at that!
