What Happens to the Sketches After the Project Ships
Three studios explain how they archive the drawings nobody asked for.
By Priya Nakamura
Most design studios produce far more sketches than any client sees. We asked three how they keep them.
One scans every page into a shared drive tagged by project. One binds them into a yearly book. One throws them away on purpose.
In practice
All three agree the habit matters more than the method.
The archive is for the next junior, not for us.
