When working on large projects, with many mock-ups and style-sheets, even the smallest change on a re-occurring component can take quite some time.

If you have an intern that does those things for you, you are in luck, but what about us freelancers?

Do we just sit there and endure the pain? Well, not anymore! A while back, I discovered a system that enables designers to say goodbye to opening 23 PSD files just to change the header color. Instead, we can work smart, like our counter parts the developers, and import external files with something called - “Variables”.

This allows us to put the re-occurring component into one external file and simply import that file into all of our mock-ups. When a change is required, we can just change it in one place.
