My project folders at work have different subfolders for wireframes, comps, and prototypes, but I want to have subfolders for the actual .psd, .ai, .svg, etc. files to separate them from the many flattened jpegs, pngs, and gifs.
Is there a name for "unflattened editor files", instead of making separate "PSD", "AI", etc. folders?
I'm struggling to come up with a word for that.

Source files /Sources?
This is how I ususally structure my projects:
Project Name
--Assets (this could be fonts, photos, etc)
--Sources (ai, psd, etc)
--Exports (pdf, jpg, etc)
I voted to close this.. it is way too opinion-based in my opinion. :)
For what it's worth I use a directory titled "Working" for construction files.
Then a directory titled "Images" for final images to be used.
All my projects essentially have the same directory structure....
[Project]
[Client files]
[Images]
[Working]
project.indd
project.pdf
project.pdfx
[Build] (directory if web project)
[Older] (Backup directory of previous project file iterations. Basically I send the client a proof on the 10th.. they get back to me on the 15th. I copy the file from 10th into this directory, then make changes on the original file from the 10th. This allows me to revert to a previous proof if it's ever needed.)
Within the various directories you can add additional subdirectories if you want. You can do Working -> Raster or Working -> PSD, whatever. But by putting it in the "Working" directory I know it'll be the live, unflattened, editable, file.
Image Files
They are all types of image files so you could you that.
or
Graphics Files
Image file definition:

can be rasterized for use on a computer display or printer. An image

formats.
