Data Structure & Integration
Image files designed to integrate seamlessly into existing systems.
When Images Enter Everyday Use
After the shoot, the real workflow begins: images are uploaded into a CMS, shared with agencies, archived or reused for campaigns.
For this process to run smoothly, more is required than strong visuals. It requires structure.
Image data is prepared so that it integrates technically and organisationally – without renaming, re-sorting or follow-up queries.
Systematic Structure Instead of Isolated Files
Rather than unsorted files, clearly organised data packages are delivered.
Consistent File Naming
File names contain context rather than camera-generated labels. Project, subject, format and size are clearly identifiable.
Example: client_project_subject_1200x800_web.webp
This facilitates integration, version control and future expansion.
Project-Based Folder Structure
Web, print and original files are logically separated. Size variants and formats are clearly assigned.
Image data can therefore be transferred directly into CMS systems, layout software or internal server structures.
Defined Variants
Different resolutions and aspect ratios are prepared according to project requirements. No subsequent cropping within editorial systems is required.
This ensures visual consistency and reduces potential sources of error.
Transparent Version Control
Updates are added in a structured manner rather than overwriting existing files. Changes remain traceable and projects maintain long-term manageability.
Example of a Delivery Structure
A typical project handover may include the following levels:
- /Web
- /Social
- Version-labelled subfolders for updates
The structure is designed to function independently of the system in use – whether TYPO3, WordPress, Kirby CMS or an internal server environment.
Less Coordination. Greater Clarity.
Structured image data reduces organisational effort throughout a project. Files can be processed without renaming or re-sorting – within CMS platforms, layout workflows or agency collaboration.
- Clear allocation
- No subsequent sorting
- Consistent variants
- Direct transfer to third parties
Projects remain comprehensible over the long term – regardless of who continues working on them.
Long-Term Usability
A clean data structure is not a formality. It determines whether image material remains accessible, expandable and consistent even years later.
Image files are therefore not simply delivered – they are systematically integrated.
