The goal is to highlight a few targeted revisions while also explaining the review process used to verify the file’s accuracy and readiness. Overall, this is a strong first full master, and the feedback is intended to help refine the file and reinforce a repeatable QC workflow. Review the notes and walkthrough carefully, and use them as a guide for making updates and confirming each element is set up correctly. --- ### STEP-by-STep guide **QC Review Process for the Shorts Master File** **1. Start with a quick visual review of the layouts** [0:00](https://loom.com/share/8ff5b5cb799d4dd89b21b3c4586d5335?t=0) ![](https://loom.com/i/b88eda101c8d483ca38a505f889aa212?workflows_screenshot=true) - Review the different versions/artboards first before opening anything. - Check obvious issues at a glance: - waistband visibility - pocket spacing - logo/number placement - size label placement - Note anything that looks off, but don’t change anything yet. --- **2. Check spacing, alignment, and missing placeholders** [0:40](https://loom.com/share/8ff5b5cb799d4dd89b21b3c4586d5335?t=40) ![](https://loom.com/i/9debfa8fa73b4ec0833a423fe7892c56?workflows_screenshot=true) - Turn on the waistband if it already exists as a separate panel. - Make sure the waistband is included and positioned correctly. - Use a spacer or consistent spacing method so pockets look uniform. - Verify logo and number placement, especially on longer shorts. - Confirm branding alignment and size spacing across all versions. - If a size has no image, use a placeholder like “no image available.” --- **3. Verify artboard order and version naming** [2:24](https://loom.com/share/8ff5b5cb799d4dd89b21b3c4586d5335?t=144) ![](https://loom.com/i/0a30516fee5e41209fe26cdcdaa517bb?workflows_screenshot=true) - Make sure size labels are in the correct order. - Put YS and YM at the top if that is the intended hierarchy. - Confirm version naming is correct, including lowercase/uppercase formatting. - Check that any flipped artwork is actually oriented correctly. --- **4. Open the file and inspect layer locking** [5:37](https://loom.com/share/8ff5b5cb799d4dd89b21b3c4586d5335?t=337) ![](https://loom.com/i/80f7b59843d743a2887592912f2f2c8e?workflows_screenshot=true) - Review how the file is locked when it is saved. - Locking is useful for production, but it can slow down design edits. - Only lock the layers that should stay fixed. - Keep editable layers unlocked when the file is still being worked on. - Make sure key items like client info and locked elements are actually locked. --- **5. Rebuild spacing by using guides and artboard measurements** [10:14](https://loom.com/share/8ff5b5cb799d4dd89b21b3c4586d5335?t=614) ![](https://loom.com/i/33deaab641644b60bf84a02bd9ed2f20?workflows_screenshot=true) - Use the spacing between existing elements as the reference. - Create guides to match the distance between panels/artboards. - Duplicate that spacing consistently across the layout. - If a section needs more room, adjust the spacing intentionally rather than eyeballing it. - Keep the artboards aligned so the review process is easier. --- **6. Reset nudged elements by copying and pasting** [15:06](https://loom.com/share/8ff5b5cb799d4dd89b21b3c4586d5335?t=906) ![](https://loom.com/i/7ece2d268750414f8c4d49b924fbd474?workflows_screenshot=true) - If multiple elements were accidentally nudged, don’t manually fix each one. - Copy and paste the correct base elements to reset them. - This is faster and reduces the chance of introducing new alignment errors. - Reapply the waistband after resetting the layout if needed. --- **7. Recreate the header and version structure** [17:27](https://loom.com/share/8ff5b5cb799d4dd89b21b3c4586d5335?t=1047) ![](https://loom.com/i/b1b3bda7af214f34a152094c192c08df?workflows_screenshot=true) - If the layout is getting too wide, move the header into a more compact arrangement. - Drop the header into a new row if necessary. - Align the header left and then lock it again. - Save the updated version with the correct version number (for example, 0.5 or v5 depending on the workflow). --- **8. Rebuild artboards for the second and third sections** [19:51](https://loom.com/share/8ff5b5cb799d4dd89b21b3c4586d5335?t=1191) ![](https://loom.com/i/4fdd7b84aa31453b8199e961d64a06d6?workflows_screenshot=true) - Lock the elements that should not move. - Use guides to place the artboards in a clean grid. - Create the second section’s artboards first, then build the third section. - Keep the artboards grouped and aligned so they are easy to review. - Make sure the spacing between artboards is consistent across sections. --- **9. Fix stretched text and preserve typography** [40:55](https://loom.com/share/8ff5b5cb799d4dd89b21b3c4586d5335?t=2455) ![](https://loom.com/i/e1cf2acc5c0442da9c95ee9e57ee058c?workflows_screenshot=true) - If text has been stretched, do not leave it distorted. - Use direct selection to edit the shape or path instead of scaling the text itself. - Rebuild the text area so the font stays clean and unwarped. - This keeps the master file production-ready. --- **10. Verify pocket, sew, and cut layers by turning layers on and off** [44:42](https://loom.com/share/8ff5b5cb799d4dd89b21b3c4586d5335?t=2682) ![](https://loom.com/i/90feba1fc99e4fcd8abe94650fde1421?workflows_screenshot=true) - Hide and show layers to inspect the pocket structure. - Use the cut and sew layers to confirm whether the arrows face the same direction. - If the arrows do not match, the pocket is likely flipped incorrectly. - Check each size/version individually. - If something looks wrong, work backward to identify which layer or duplicate caused the issue. --- **11. Rebuild missing pocket pieces and correct layer placement** [59:28](https://loom.com/share/8ff5b5cb799d4dd89b21b3c4586d5335?t=3568) ![](https://loom.com/i/cfdae360b8b347aab1d856942b25e824?workflows_screenshot=true) - If a pocket, sew line, or cut line is missing, add it back manually. - Make sure each pocket has the correct sew and cut components. - Move items into the correct layer group: - pocket - sew - cut - Use copy/paste into the correct layer to avoid rebuilding from scratch. - Confirm the pocket structure by toggling visibility again. --- **12. Confirm arrow direction and reflection consistency** [01:09:23](https://loom.com/share/8ff5b5cb799d4dd89b21b3c4586d5335?t=4163) ![](https://loom.com/i/965dc50e67374745a62d899e6c9588a3?workflows_screenshot=true) - Check that all reflected pieces face the correct direction. - Use hover indicators and arrow direction as the main verification method. - Left/right pieces should consistently point the same way across the file. - If one side looks off, compare it against a known-correct piece. --- **13. Align registration marks and player information** [01:10:52](https://loom.com/share/8ff5b5cb799d4dd89b21b3c4586d5335?t=4252) - Use registration bars to establish alignment. - Line up the marks using guides and edge references. - For player information, align the symbols without moving the clipping mask or clipart. - Move the symbol inside the mask, not the artwork container itself. - Keep left/right color coding consistent so the correct side is easy to identify. --- **14. Final QC summary and workflow guidance** [01:43:50](https://loom.com/share/8ff5b5cb799d4dd89b21b3c4586d5335?t=6230) ![](https://loom.com/i/5d17c60098774e03a5aba793e63482c4?workflows_screenshot=true) - This is the first full master, so the overall work is strong. - The main goal is to verify and clean up the file before production. - Once the base structure is correct, bring back the remaining elements: - waistband - pockets - liner - Lock finished headings and stable elements so they do not shift. - The file may be marked as failed for QC, but the work is still a very good first pass. - Use the same process on the backside to keep height and alignment consistent. --- ### GREAT JOB! - [Sales](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/sales?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Tools & Resources](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/sales?hsLang=en#tools-resources) - [SOP's](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/sales?hsLang=en#sops) - [Product Training](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/sales?hsLang=en#product-training) - [HubSpot Tickets](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/sales?hsLang=en#hubspot-tickets) - [Account Manager](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/account-manager?hsLang=en#main-content) - [SOP's](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/account-manager?hsLang=en#sops) - [SKU Sheets](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/account-manager?hsLang=en#sku-sheets) - [Resources](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/account-manager?hsLang=en#resources) - [HubSpot Tickets](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/account-manager?hsLang=en#hubspot-tickets) - [HubSpot Tasks](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/account-manager?hsLang=en#hubspot-tasks) - [Ziflow](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/account-manager?hsLang=en#ziflow) - [Off Menu Items](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/account-manager?hsLang=en#off-menu-items) - [Ticket Management](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/ticket-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Resources](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/ticket-management?hsLang=en#resources) - [HubSpot Ticket](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/ticket-management?hsLang=en#hubspot-ticket) - [HubSpot Tasks](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/ticket-management?hsLang=en#hubspot-tasks) - [Ziflow](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/ticket-management?hsLang=en#ziflow) - [Design | Team](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/design-team?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Design Rules by Sport](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/design-team?hsLang=en#design-rules-by-sport) - [Adobe CC Libraries](https://help.signaturelocker.com/support/design-team?hsLang=en#adobe-cc-libraries) - [0.
