Studying Design & Evernote

[iCHRYST 0]

Hey everyone,

 

I'm starting a design course in 2 day's time and want a little help organising my files appropriately.

 

Each semester I have 4 classes (Drawing, Design Studio, Photography, Computer Skills this semester). Each week I end up with 5-6 readings for each unit delivered in PDF's, then I have assessments due each week. I'd like to be able to save all of my information in Evernote for easy study + reference. I had two thoughts on the best way to make it work but wanted some feedback.

 

First idea was a nested folder structure. So I'd have on top level folder with multiple sub folders and then have an appropriate naming structure within it.

 

i.e.

 

- Design School

-- Design Studio

(File) Lesson 1 - Reading: Research

(File) Lesson 1 - Reading: The Design Process

(File) Lesson 1 - Assignment: Design Interview pt1

 

Alternatively, I thought of using one folder with a name structure to separate them.

 

i.e.

- Design School

(File) Drawing Studio101: Lesson 1 - Reading: Research

(File) Drawing Studio101: Lesson 1 - Reading: The Design Process

(File) Drawing Studio101: Lesson 1 - Assignment: Design Interview pt1

 

thoughts?

 

I also need to think of a naming structure so that I can list all my content in the following order;

 

Lesson 1 - Forum Posts

Lesson 1 - Reading

Lesson 1 - Extended Reading

Lesson 1 - Assignment

Lesson 2 - Forum Posts

Lesson 2 - Reading

Lesson 2 - Extended Reading

Lesson 2 - Assignment

 

any help would be appriciated.
