THE PRODUCT IDEA

Before information has a style, it has a relationship.

The guide begins with the underlying logic: sequence, hierarchy, comparison, network, cycle and matrix.

Recognising that logic makes it easier to choose an appropriate visual form and avoid decorating a structure that has not yet been understood.

FIELD GUIDE / RELATIONSHIP ATLAS

Six structures to recognise before you design.

These are working categories for the guide, not an exhaustive theory. Examples and terminology will be reviewed before publication.

01

Sequence

Show what happens before, during and after.

02

Hierarchy

Make levels, priority and belonging visible.

03

Comparison

Place meaningful differences on shared terms.

04

Network

Reveal connections without forcing a single path.

05

Cycle

Explain repetition, feedback and return.

06

Matrix

Organise two dimensions without flattening either.

SAMPLE SPREAD / CONCEPT

Comparison is only useful when the terms are shared.

Acommon dimensionsB

Each chapter will pair a relationship pattern with questions, common mistakes and a compact example.
