Folio

Folio exists to make finding quality digital assets easier.

With quality being key, your Folio team is dedicated to delivering only the best quality of assets. To help us achieve this, below are some guidelines to ensure your beautiful work gets the curators stamp of approval. 

What file types can I upload to Folio? 

Folio is currently accepting graphic file types i.e. PSD, EPS, AI, JPG, PNG, TIFF, PDF. We’re busy building and tweaking Folio so you can upload additional file types. Feel free to drop us a line to tell us what file types you want to upload.  

What categories does Folio feature? 

To make finding files easier, you can upload your file to one specific category. The categories are: 

App, Audio, Fonts, Graphic Design, Icons, Illustration, Interface, iPhone, Logo, Mobile, Photography, Texture, Typography, Vectors.

If there’s another category you can think of that’s relevant to you, again let us know so we can consider it for the next iteration.  

What does Folio look for in “a pixel perfect digital asset”?

Folio is committed to upholding a high standard of quality by curating all files submitted and running them through a fine-tooth comb checking layers, lines and pixels so they meet and/or exceed our users expectations. 

The curation team will work together with users to ensure their files are prepared in such a way that is optimal for purchase by other Folio users. If the files do not meet the curators quality criteria, they may be removed from the marketplace. Here are some general guidelines to follow…

Files should:

be editable

have an accurate name

have a set of clear and effective tags

have organized layers

be consistent

represent design elegance 

be non-offensive

be clear

be correctly aligned

Last night we were honored to demo Folio on stage at The New York Tech Meetup. It was really exciting for us to have the opportunity to show the tech community the Folio webstore and desktop application.

In case you missed the livestream, we’d love to share a sneak peek of what Folio looks like. As always we’re eager to hear your thoughts and feedback on everything! We’re building Folio together with some of the worlds most skilled creative and technical minds and we absolutely want the users to be a part of the build process. Over the coming weeks, we’ll demo Folio at workshops, design events, co-working spaces, schools and conferences throughout the U.S. If you’re interested in setting a demo up with your creative peers feel free to email us on hello@fol.io

In the meantime, check out these snapshots and let us know what you think!

The last few weeks, we’ve been working quietly behind the scenes to bring Folio to you as soon as possible. This week marked a milestone, as we made our first public appearance releasing the Folio registration page and quirky #WTF* (What Type of File) personality quiz. The responses were hilarious, widespread and very positive! We’re delighted to have such a variety of “file types” from .PSD’s to .PDF’s to .HTML’s register with Folio and look forward to welcoming more! 

This week marked another milestone, as we were featured on Beaker Magazine, for having “Elements of a Well-Designed Launch Page”. We were honored to say the least to be among an incredible list of design focused websites including Fab.com and Wander.
