Naming conventions
Consistent naming conventions ensure that your Figma design layouts function optimally as template-based assets in deckd.
Categorize templates
To keep assets structured in deckd, top-level Figma frames must follow a specific naming convention. This determines how they are grouped within the deckd editor for better organization.
• Choose logical categories for your template assets, such as Title, Header, or Quote Block.
• If you have multiple versions of the same type, name them sequentially: • Title/01, Title/02 • Quote/01, Quote/02
This ensures assets remain structured and easy to navigate.
Naming layers
Layers nested within template frames, such as text boxes and images, should also follow specific naming conventions. This helps:
• Clearly distinguish different content elements
• Improve responsiveness in deckd
• Support deckd-specific functionalities
Naming overview
Follow these naming conventions for layers within templates:
• Assign meaningful names to text and image layers to clarify their function.
• If multiple layers of the same type exist, name them sequentially (e.g., p1, p2, p3).
By following these guidelines, you ensure a structured, scalable, and efficient workflow across all asset types in deckd:
Type | Naming | Definition |
---|---|---|
Title | t | The main title text of the asset. Typically one per template. |
Subtitle | s | A secondary title or supporting text. Usually one per template. |
Paragraph | p | A body text section. Can appear multiple times within an asset. |
Paragraph title | pt | A heading for a paragraph. Can be used multiple times per asset. |
Media | media | Changeable media elements such as images or videos. Use a placeholder image in Figma. Do not use for static brand visuals that shouldn’t be replaced. |
