Little Thoughts #2: Stick to filename conventions!
If I’m your art director and you see that I’ve named files a specific way, that is for a reason. I’ve already sent you the file naming conventions… stick to them. If you still don’t know what to do, just ask me.
File naming conventions MATTER.
I will like you so much more if you make an attempt to save me work by naming files properly. But almost no one ever even tries, and you make me have to do it. This is why I write the file naming conventions in the first place. This is one small way to show excellence that will put you head and shoulders above your competition. I respect attention to detail and quality customer service.

Jon, normally I agree with your insights, but in this case you’ve either missed a step or just haven’t presented it here. Part of any AD’s responsibilities is to establish a naming convention, or at least delegate its creation and review it.
Even close mimickry of the format may not keep it in link with the intended pattern of the naming convention.
DOH. That’s what I get for posting late. Yeah, I totally made that not make sense.
And now I’ve edited it so your reply doesn’t make sense. ;)
Thanks for catching that. I need to proofread better.
Dude, I don’t care what you say, asdf still makes a great filename.
You’re on notice. ;)
