Revision as of 20:32, 16 November 2006
All prepped media should conform to the following conventions: Each piece will be lowercase, and not spaced. There will be 5 sections that will be designated by the first 4 letters then followed by an underscore:
* Student Galleries: stud_ * Alumni: alum_ * Faculty: facu_ * Course Content: cour_ * Global Navigation: glob_
This will be followed by a subsection, the subsections will consist of the majors and will be designated by the first letter of the major, and there are four majors:
* General: g * Integrated Media: i * Journalism: j * Film Studies: f
This will be followed by a serial number in case there are more than one of each object:
* 01 * 02 * 03
The serial number will be followed by an extension of the file type. The extensions are defined the limited number of media files we will be accepting and using:
* Images: .jpg .gif * Videos: .flv * Audio: .mp3 * Text/Html: .txt .html * Flash: .swf
Examples using the naming conventions:
