All prepped media should conform to the following conventions: Each piece will be lowercase, and will not contain spaces. There will be 5 sections - designated by the first 4 letters then followed by an underscore:

Example: 

   * Student Galleries: stud_
   * Alumni: alum_
   * Faculty: facu_
   * Course Content: cour_
   * Global Navigation: glob_

This will be followed by a subsection consisting of the majors and will be designated by the first letter of the major.

Example: 

   * 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:

Example: 

   * 01
   * 02
   * 03

The serial number will be followed by the standard extension for that type of file type.

Example: 

   * Images: .jpg .gif
   * Videos: .flv
   * Audio: .mp3
   * Text/Html: .txt .html
   * Flash: .swf

Preproduction files will use the same naming conventions however, they will be given version numbers.

Example: 

   * stud_g_v01.jpg

Thumbnails will be saved with a “th_” preceding the file name in order to distinguish them from their full size version.

Example: 

   *th_stud_01.jpg

Examples using the naming conventions:
