About tags
PGDA emphasizes the importance of tagging, stating that “Several levels of classifications are what make for useful tags from general to the specific.” “Tags that identify designers, studios, fonts, periods, styles, and so on are very useful for researchers. These are fundamental categories for design research.” ”Calling attention to something that is an early or unknown work by someone, or an unusual use of a font, or anything that can be identified with expert knowledge and strikes your eye is helpful.” In other words, tags make your work discoverable and help it stand out in the archive.
