Photoshop Etiquette (for web designers)

I came across this website today, and I had to post it for two reasons, 1. to share, and 2. to put somewhere so I won’t forget. The website is Photoshop Etiquette (photoshopetiquette.com), “A Guide to Discernible Web Design in Photoshop”.

Many of the etiquette tips listed could be for any Photoshop user, not just web designers. I hope my students read this and take the tips to heart.

Here are some of my favorites:

• Name Files Appropriately
• Name Layers & Be Accurate
• Use Folders
• Delete Unnecessary Layers
• Don’t Stretch Type
• Be Consistent

Lastly, it’s a great looking website! Mad props to Dan Rose, the creator & curator.
