Software Tips & Recommended Setup
Our studio's foundational cheat-sheets and productivity setups for Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Figma, and Notion.
Adobe Illustrator
Vector Marks & Identity- Always work with Snap to Point and Smart Guides (Ctrl+U) enabled.
- Keep bezier anchor counts minimal using the Pen tool with smooth tangents.
- Use Pathfinder > Unite and Expand Appearance before client handoff.
- Outline all typography (Ctrl+Shift+O) to prevent missing font errors.
Figma
UI & Brand Systems- Structure design systems with Auto Layout (Shift+A) for fluid responsiveness.
- Define color and typographic Variables & Tokens for dark/light switching.
- Use interactive component variants with smart animate for realistic micro-interactions.
- Export SVG graphics with Outline text checked for web icon parity.
Adobe Photoshop
Mockups & Visual Retouching- Always use Smart Objects for non-destructive scale, skew, and distortion.
- Set color proofing to Working CMYK when previewing print packaging.
- Utilize displacement maps on textured mockups (apparel, kraft paper, embossed foil).
- Export for screens as WebP or 85% compressed JPG for crisp web performance.
Notion
Client Delivery & Wiki- Lock client shared pages to prevent accidental deletion of deliverables and links.
- Use relational databases to link client feedback directly to project milestones.
- Embed live Figma file frames directly into Notion for real-time asset reviews.
- Store brand hex codes and typography pairing rules in callout quote blocks.
