Process

Update product imagery and UI elements in Photoshop comps, and output web graphics. Structure Photoshop comps to optimize efficient production design and localization workflows using smart objects, and layer comps while tracking and check-in web graphics using a version control system. Work closely with teams to meet project goals and ensure efficient file handoffs for localization.

  • Use a consistent naming convention for files and folders.
  • Use artboards for different screen sizes or variations.
  • Convert elements (logos, icons) into smart objects.
  • Link external files for reusable elements to ensure consistency across designs.
  • Update smart objects to reflect changes across all instances.
  • Use layer comps to save different states of a design.
  • Name layer comps descriptively.
  • Update layer comps when changes are made to specific states.
  • Regularly review designs against project goals.
  • Conduct design reviews with stakeholders and development teams.
  • Establish a feedback loop for continuous improvement in the design and development process.

Outcome

I was able to create an efficient and organized workflow for updating product imagery and UI elements in Photoshop while ensuring smooth cross-functional team collaboration and localization processes.
