But great post. One other little technique I like to do especially when you have multiple rounds of approvals and different designers working on the same file, is to label the layer of any stock imagery used with id of the image and the stock library you got it from. So if any one else has to use the file they can find the image super quick. Firstly it is scary that someone with a name so similar to mine is doing the same thing as myself in this world.

(i.e. 10px margin here 5px padding here) It only takes 5 or 10 minutes and is a quick reference if there are any questions.

Then the dev should only oversize that symbol and export :D I’ll add one: to make the process of creating a background graphic for a button or some other element that’s going to require a “sliding doors” technique, make use of the 9-slice property in the symbols.
