DESCRIPTION
What does it mean to design a system? In graphic design we engage with a great number of variables, such as typography, color, layout, scale, and format. How does the designer mediate and develop systems -or identities- that are driven by the unique traits and needs of the entity or client? How can design directly address the particular personality and sensibilities of the client, while also considering audience? The contemporary branding landscape demands a new kind of system due to the multitude of formats, outputs, and sites in which branding is present. Today?s designers are tasked with striking a balance in order to maintain consistency within modular and flexible systems.
