+
+### Naming Conventions
+
+**Logos:**
+- `{brand}-logo-{variant}-{size}.{ext}`
+- Example: `acme-logo-primary-1200x600.svg`
+
+**Images:**
+- `{category}-{description}-{dimensions}.{ext}`
+- Example: `hero-homepage-banner-1920x1080.jpg`
+
+**Colors:**
+- Use semantic names in code
+- Example: `brand-primary`, `accent-blue`, `neutral-gray-100`
+
+**Fonts:**
+- `{family}-{weight}-{style}.{ext}`
+- Example: `roboto-700-italic.woff2`
+

+
+## Color Management
+
+### Color Palette JSON Schema
+
+```json
+{
+  "brand": {
+    "primary": {
+      "hex": "#0066CC",
+      "rgb": "0, 102, 204",
+      "cmyk": "100, 50, 0, 20",
+      "pantone": "PMS 300 C",
+      "usage": "Primary brand color for CTAs and headers"
+    },
+    "secondary": {
+      "hex": "#FF6600",
+      "rgb": "255, 102, 0",
+      "cmyk": "0, 60, 100, 0",
+      "pantone": "PMS 1655 C",
+      "usage": "Accent color for highlights"
+    }
+  },
+  "neutral": {
+    "gray-100": "#F5F5F5",
+    "gray-500": "#9E9E9E",
+    "gray-900": "#212121"
+  },
+  "semantic": {
+    "success": "#4CAF50",
+    "warning": "#FFC107",
+    "error": "#F44336",
+    "info": "#2196F3"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Accessibility Requirements
+
+- **Contrast Ratio:** Minimum 4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text (WCAG AA)
+- **Color Blindness:** Don't rely on color alone for information
+- **Testing:** Use tools like WebAIM Contrast Checker
+
+---
+
+## Logo Management
+
+### Logo Variants
+
+**Required Variants:**
+1. **Primary:** Full color, standard usage
+2. **Secondary:** Simplified version for small sizes
+3. **Monochrome:** Black, white, single-color versions
+4. **Reversed:** For dark backgrounds
+
+### Logo Formats
+
+**Digital:**
+- SVG (vector, preferred for web)
+- PNG (transparent background, multiple sizes)
+- WebP (optimized for web)
+
+**Print:**
+- EPS or AI (vector)
+- High-res PNG/TIFF (300 DPI minimum)
+
+### Logo Usage Rules
+
+```yaml
+logo_usage:
+  minimum_size:
+    digital: "120px width"
+    print: "1 inch width"
+  clear_space:
+    rule: "Minimum clear space = height of logo"
+  backgrounds:
+    light: "Use primary logo"
+    dark: "Use reversed logo"
+    busy: "Use logo with background plate"
+  prohibited:
+    - "Stretching or distorting"
+    - "Changing colors"
+    - "Adding effects (shadows, gradients)"
+    - "Placing on low-contrast backgrounds"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Font Management
+
+### Web Fonts
+
+**Loading Strategy:**
+```html
+<!-- Preload critical fonts -->
+<link rel="preload" href="/fonts/roboto-400.woff2" as="font" type="font/woff2" crossorigin>
+
+<!-- Font face declaration -->
+<style>
+@font-face {
+  font-family: 'Roboto';
+  src: url('/fonts/roboto-400.woff2') format('woff2'),
+       url('/fonts/roboto-400.woff') format('woff');
+  font-weight: 400;
+  font-style: normal;
+  font-display: swap;
+}
+</style>
+```
+
+**Performance:**
+- Use `font-display: swap` to prevent FOIT (Flash of Invisible Text)
+- Subset fonts to include only needed characters
+- Use WOFF2 format (best compression)
+
+### Font Pairing
+
+```json
+{
+  "typography": {
+    "headings": {
+      "family": "Montserrat",
+      "weights": [600, 700],
+      "usage": "H1-H6, display text"
+    },
+    "body": {
+      "family": "Open Sans",
+      "weights": [400, 600],
+      "usage": "Paragraphs, UI text"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Media Asset Management
+
+### Image Optimization
+
+**Formats:**
+- **JPEG:** Photos, complex images (use 80-85% quality)
+- **PNG:** Graphics with transparency, simple images
+- **WebP:** Modern format, 25-35% smaller than JPEG
+- **SVG:** Icons, logos, simple graphics
+
+**Responsive Images:**
+```html
+<picture>
+  <source srcset="hero-1920.webp" type="image/webp" media="(min-width: 1200px)">
+  <source srcset="hero-1200.webp" type="image/webp" media="(min-width: 768px)">
+  <source srcset="hero-768.webp" type="image/webp">
+  <img src="hero-1200.jpg" alt="Hero banner" loading="lazy">
+</picture>
+```
+
+**Image Sizes:**
+```json
+{
+  "image_sizes": {
+    "thumbnail": "150x150",
+    "small": "300x300",
+    "medium": "768x768",
+    "large": "1200x1200",
+    "hero": "1920x1080",
+    "og_image": "1200x630"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Video Assets
+
+**Formats:**
+- **MP4 (H.264):** Universal compatibility
+- **WebM:** Smaller file size, modern browsers
+- **Poster Image:** Always provide fallback image
+
+**Optimization:**
+```json
+{
+  "video_settings": {
+    "resolution": "1080p maximum",
+    "bitrate": "5000 kbps for 1080p",
+    "codec": "H.264 (MP4) or VP9 (WebM)",
+    "audio": "AAC 128 kbps",
+    "compression": "Two-pass encoding"
+  }
+}
+```
+

+
+## Asset Inventory System
+
+### Metadata Schema
+
+```json
+{
+  "asset_id": "img-hero-homepage-001",
+  "type": "image",
+  "category": "hero",
+  "file": {
+    "name": "hero-homepage-banner-1920x1080.jpg",

+    },
+    {
+      "size": "1200x675",
+      "file": "hero-homepage-banner-1200x675.jpg"
+    },

+      "url": "https://example.com",
+      "date_added": "2026-01-20"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Version Control for Assets
+
+### Git LFS (Large File Storage)
+
+**Setup:**
+```bash
+# Install Git LFS
+git lfs install
+
+# Track asset types
+git lfs track "*.psd"
+git lfs track "*.ai"
+git lfs track "*.mp4"
+git lfs track "*.mov"
+
+# Commit .gitattributes
+git add .gitattributes
+git commit -m "Configure Git LFS for design assets"
+```
+
+### Asset Versioning
+
+**Naming Convention:**
+```
+{asset-name}-v{major}.{minor}.{ext}
+```
+
+**Examples:**
+- `logo-primary-v1.0.svg` → Initial version
+- `logo-primary-v1.1.svg` → Minor update
+- `logo-primary-v2.0.svg` → Major redesign
+
+---
+
+## CDN and Delivery
+
+### CDN Configuration
+
+```json
+{
+  "cdn": {
+    "provider": "Cloudflare / CloudFront",
+    "base_url": "https://cdn.example.com",
+    "cache_control": {
+      "images": "public, max-age=31536000, immutable",
+      "fonts": "public, max-age=31536000, immutable",
+      "videos": "public, max-age=86400"
+    },
+    "compression": {
+      "gzip": true,
+      "brotli": true
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Asset URLs
+
+**Structure:**
+```
+https://cdn.example.com/{type}/{category}/{filename}
+```
+
+**Examples:**
+- `https://cdn.example.com/images/hero/homepage-banner.jpg`
+- `https://cdn.example.com/fonts/roboto-400.woff2`
+- `https://cdn.example.com/logos/primary/logo.svg`
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices

+✅ Document asset usage and licensing
+✅ Implement lazy loading for images
+✅ Use CDN for asset delivery
+✅ Maintain asset inventory with metadata
+
+### DON'T
