A useful artwork handover makes the current file easy to find and explains how it should be interpreted. Send a small governing set with clear filenames, preview images and revision notes instead of a folder of competing final versions.
Include a reference index
List the project name, current artwork revision, available front, side and back views, and the person or role handling design decisions. For a curly-haired noodle doll reference, the head detail would deserve its own labelled view if it were central to a new design discussion.
The catalogue example is a visual reference; provide the actual authorised artwork for the commissioned character.
Make file roles explicit
Separate editable source artwork from a viewing preview and from marked feedback images. The preview shows what the file should look like; the source supports development; the feedback copy records requested changes. One file does not reliably perform all three roles.
If a source depends on fonts or linked graphics, ask the receiving team what it needs to open and interpret the artwork correctly. Do not assume a screenshot contains everything needed for the sample.
Record the unresolved areas
State which views, colours or accessory details are still open to proposal. An incomplete brief is easier to work with when the gaps are named. Otherwise an interpretation may later be mistaken for an agreed instruction.
Is the largest file automatically the production master?
No. Use the index and explicit revision identifier. Keep obsolete files as history where needed, but do not leave them alongside the governing file without a clear status.
Bring the index into the custom design brief so the file handover and written requirements agree.
