Problem
Created a gallery for hundreds of Apple Watches and bands for fall launch. The problem was how does my team set up the process for large amounts of hardware?
What makes this project different from the previous one is the amount of parts involved in the build.
The campaign included multiple screens, the primary watch face, and a wide variety of watch bands,
all of which had to be localized for more than 150 countries.

Process
Created a template with approved designs to apply to watch faces with their corresponding bands.
I organized folder groups by watch type and set up each screen on separate layers so our scripts could efficiently generate variations for different geographic markets. The image below shows an example of what was involved in the preparation process.
Pixel-perfect alignment was crucial, with every element built to a 2px grid. We were exporting hundreds of assets for product galleries, all of which would be directly visible to customers, so even a one-pixel misalignment could be noticeable.

Challenge
Working with hundreds of assets has its problem with timing. Finding the tallest and widest assets takes a while to sift through. I had to do this in order to know that all the remaining, smaller and odd shaped hardware would fit on our templates.

Result
Setting up the templates for the website and Apple Store app helped save time for the whole team.
I figured the effort
put into building the galleries was about 20% time saved.
I would also have to mention that our scripts team was the biggest hero. Whatever we can dream up, they could execute with swiftness.
