When it comes to file management, it is ever so important to keep everything as organised and safe as possible, even long after a project is over. Backup everything. You never know when an old client could get in touch asking for something from a previous assignment. Even though it isn’t the most creative, or exciting part of the job, it isn’t too difficult to sort out, especially if you keep this in mind from the start.
