500Level - Automation

500Level – Automation

// With an extensive catalog featuring more than 300 athletes, 120 storefronts and Amazon distribution, automation is not a luxury. Saving time on repetitive tasks, standardizing processes, and quick turnarounds are a necessity. Below are two solutions I developed to greatly increase efficiencies.

[Automation] [Scripting] [Digital]

Photoshop | Brackets

// Utilizing my knowledge of automated design, I created and implemented a PS droplet solution that enabled my company, 500Level, to create individual player apparel designs for entire teams in record time.
Automated designs make use of the data-driven graphics functionality on Photoshop to modify text layers, allowing the automatic generation of variations. The workflow consists of inputting accurate player and jersey number data into the droplet, which then triggers a combination of actions to replace the data in the template, make necessary layout adjustments and export a final design.

Automated Designs

// Automated designs make use of the data driven graphics functionality on Photoshop to modify text layers, allowing the automatic generation of variations based on that data. The workflow consists of getting a list of players and their jersey numbers from reliable sources and inputting it into a PS Droplet. The droplet triggers a combination of actions and scripts to replace the data in the template, makes necessary adjustments to the layout, and exports a final design. This allowed 500Level to create designs for every single player within a record timeframe.
