Design is a system
of decisions.

The words, the number, the photograph and the mark stay. Their relationships change. This is an original experiment in what a visual system makes us notice, and how it makes us feel.

Research & references

This is a sequence of experiments, not a linear history of design. The rules draw on original works and documented practices.
