System

Monday class with levi-

System- is a set of rules.that we need to follow in a way.Rules overlap and break each others.A goo
d system is kind of a balance between control and freedom.We can have different systems but we should have elements that link those systems together.

Catalogue-its a collection by
 different things that brought together.It basically to s
ell something ,it could be to sell a
n idea or a product.

First-Set a 
rule-
for example-

Quotes--->always start from the top
.

Content---> starts from the middle.

Second design a grid-

we can design
 more than o
ne grid like one for the type and
 another for the image.It depe
nds on how we relate those different g
rids to out s
ystem or concept.

Type--->Caps
    --->lower
-case

we can play with one typeface and experiment with it.

Section- 

each section 
could be treated differently by
-grid
-type
-style

but it shoul
d be somehow 
related.

Color-
one color pallet (two or three)

Typeface- one type face
we can make it bold Italic or reg
ular.To show different ideas.Its
 more consistent to use one typeface but its up to us in the end.

Things that define our system-

-Road Marks:Li
ke a mark images-something th
at tells us that we are still in the 
same book.
-Land Marks:
-Section Markers:a mark that define each
 section like a symbol.

How to create a system from our ideas-

arts.
