+# Assets Directory
+
+This directory contains all static assets for the Xpeditis frontend application.
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+```
+public/assets/
+├── images/          # General images (hero banners, backgrounds, photos)
+├── logos/           # Company logos and branding assets
+└── icons/           # UI icons and small graphics
+```
+
+## Usage in Components
+
+### Next.js Image Component (Recommended)
+
+```tsx
+import Image from 'next/image';
+
+export function Hero() {
+  return (
+    <Image
+      src="/assets/images/hero-banner.jpg"
+      alt="Maritime shipping"
+      width={1920}
+      height={1080}
+      priority
+    />
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Logo Usage
+
+```tsx
+import Image from 'next/image';
+
+export function Header() {
+  return (
+    <Image
+      src="/assets/logos/xpeditis-logo.svg"
+      alt="Xpeditis"
+      width={150}
+      height={40}
+    />
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Icons
+
+```tsx
+// SVG icons can be imported directly
+import ShippingIcon from '@/public/assets/icons/shipping-icon.svg';
+
+export function FeatureCard() {
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <ShippingIcon className="w-8 h-8 text-blue-600" />
+      <h3>Fast Shipping</h3>
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+
+// Or use Image component
+import Image from 'next/image';
+
+export function IconButton() {
+  return (
+    <Image
+      src="/assets/icons/notification-icon.svg"
+      alt="Notifications"
+      width={24}
+      height={24}
+    />
+  );
+}
+```
+
+## File Naming Conventions
+
+### Images
+- Use kebab-case: `hero-banner.jpg`, `shipping-container.png`
+- Include descriptive names: `maritime-port-sunset.jpg`
+- Use appropriate formats:
+  - Photos: `.jpg` (compressed, smaller file size)
+  - Graphics with transparency: `.png`
+  - Simple graphics/illustrations: `.svg`
+
+### Logos
+- Main logo: `xpeditis-logo.svg`
+- Dark mode variant: `xpeditis-logo-dark.svg`
+- Light mode variant: `xpeditis-logo-light.svg`
+- Icon only: `xpeditis-icon.svg`
+- Favicon sizes: `favicon-16x16.png`, `favicon-32x32.png`
+
+### Icons
+- Use `.svg` format for scalability
+- Name by function: `tracking-icon.svg`, `dashboard-icon.svg`
+- Keep icons monochrome (colorize via CSS)
+
+## Optimization Guidelines
+
+### Image Optimization
+1. **Compress images** before adding to repository
+   - Use tools like TinyPNG, ImageOptim, or Squoosh
+   - Target: < 200KB for hero images, < 50KB for thumbnails
+
+2. **Use appropriate dimensions**
+   - Hero banners: 1920x1080px
+   - Thumbnails: 400x300px
+   - Profile images: 200x200px
+
+3. **Leverage Next.js Image Optimization**
+   - Always use `<Image>` component instead of `<img>`
+   - Specify `width` and `height` props
+   - Use `priority` for above-the-fold images
+   - Use `loading="lazy"` for below-the-fold images
+
+### SVG Optimization
+- Remove unnecessary metadata with SVGO
+- Keep viewBox attribute for proper scaling
+- Use currentColor for icons to inherit text color
+
+## Example Assets for Xpeditis
+
+### Recommended Images
+- `hero-container-ship.jpg` - Homepage hero banner
+- `tracking-dashboard.png` - Dashboard screenshot
+- `team-photo.jpg` - About us page
+- `port-operations.jpg` - Services page
+- `global-map.svg` - Shipping routes visualization
+
+### Recommended Icons
+- `container-icon.svg` - Container/booking icon
+- `ship-icon.svg` - Shipping/tracking icon
+- `document-icon.svg` - Documentation icon
+- `clock-icon.svg` - Transit time icon
+- `location-icon.svg` - Port location icon
+- `notification-icon.svg` - Alerts/notifications
+- `user-icon.svg` - User profile
+- `settings-icon.svg` - Settings/preferences
+
+## Adding New Assets
+
+1. **Check file size** - Ensure images are optimized
+2. **Use correct directory** - images/ for photos, logos/ for branding, icons/ for UI
+3. **Follow naming convention** - kebab-case, descriptive names
+4. **Update this README** - Document any special assets or usage patterns
+5. **Test responsiveness** - Verify assets look good on mobile and desktop
+
+## CDN Considerations (Future)
+
+For production, consider moving to a CDN:
+- AWS S3 + CloudFront
+- Cloudinary
+- Vercel Image Optimization (automatic with Next.js)
+
+Current setup serves from `/public` which is fine for development and small-scale production.
+
+## License & Attribution
+
+Ensure all assets have proper licensing:
+- Company logos: Internal use approved
+- Stock photos: Properly licensed (e.g., Unsplash, Pexels)
+- Icons: Open source (e.g., Heroicons, Lucide) or purchased license
+
+Document attributions in `/public/assets/ATTRIBUTIONS.md` if required.
