livinloudgraphics 39 Posted May 15, 2013 I just sat down in the shop today and had a customer come in for a decal i had it and knew where it was. however once i had to search for it has anyone ever done or thought of having a printed catalog, like a display book and have different vector pictures in it so you could just find the number on picture and look on usb and just have it like that or how do you organize 75,xxx +++ vectors. that your customers can see what you have also?

MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted May 15, 2013 Yup been working on one for awhile. I even though when the day comes just have a tablet with the catalog with all the images or even a cheap latop with an index built in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TimnAng 56 Posted May 15, 2013 Thought about it? Yes! Done it? Way too much work. LOL I'm "semi-organized"... that'll have to be good enough for now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted May 15, 2013 We have most designs in books. It takes time but I do it once a year so I can weed out stuff and do the "what was I thinking" look when I chunk something. I no longer try to save every vector I find and have around 6,000 now, same with fonts. Got the majority in a book for my benefit. The system I use for images is to # them 1 - 6000 or whatever in the computer the I print out pages for my books in categories like religious, hunting & fishing, wildlife, country, etc... so when you open the book the image # correspond to the computer and may not be in order due to the subcategories. Example a page may have graphic # 1,4,5,19,801,3001 or whatever Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darcshadow 1,625 Posted May 15, 2013 There are tons of photo management software out there. You could use one of those to organize and display your graphics. You'd most likely need to create a thumbnail of the vector as most of the programs are designed for photo formats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
