Asset logs
When creating media products, it is important to keep track of the assets you are using. Assets can be:
- Pictures
- Graphics
- Sounds
- Video clips
- Fonts
Using an asset log is a good way to do this. It lets you easily store where the asset is from, key information about its properties and any legal restraints you might need to follow up on.
Sample Asset Log
