Hi,

For graphic designers it is generally a problem to manage their collection of graphic items. So, how do you manage it? Do you use online photo gallerias, online file storage or any other tool?

I am not graphic designer but I did collect some graphic that I find interesting and meaningful. I'll categorize it (in folder) and name the photo accordingly. Somehow, we can recall the image by having a glance over the file name unless the files are not managed by you Smiling

Same here, I'm not a graphic designer, I do collect some pictures and arranged them according to their categories, like nature, people, abstract, even the stolen.

Yes, it is a common practice for a normal users but for creatives I feel it is essential to use some digital asset management system in order to better manage their portfolio and collection.

Did you think ever if you email is compromised than what will happen?
You will definitely loose everything! So, I would recommend you to have some sort of backup!
