Assets

Everything from the text and images to the design specifications, like font style, color, size, and spacing

Why it matters

Handoff quality lives or dies here: a missing icon or an unspecified spacing becomes a developer’s guess, and guesses ship. Treating assets as part of the design — named, organised, versioned — is what makes the built product match the file.
