How Do You Name and Organize Your Image Files?

I’m interested in learning how other designers keep their assets sorted, be the methods special prefixes, directories, or whatever. How do you name and organize your images files?

I’ve used these prefixes regularly:

  • an_ animated gifs
  • bg_ backgrounds
  • ic_ icons

For a while I also used btn_ for buttons, but since these are technically CSS backgrounds I’ve been considering using bg_btn_. Seems long, though.

As far as directories, I like:

  • /animations
  • /base (global assets)
  • /backgrounds
  • /buttons
  • /icons
  • /email (HTML emails only)

What works great for you?
