Portfolio standard

Eight domains, each with a different burden of proof.

A useful digital product respects the conditions of its subject. The portfolio applies one design discipline while changing the evidence, language and interaction model for every domain.

Shared standard

Five rules across every domain.

01

State the boundary

Make the limits of information, evidence and interpretation visible before they matter.

02

Design for the decision

Organise the experience around what a visitor needs to understand, compare or do next.

03

Earn the tone

Let the subject determine the pace, vocabulary, colour and degree of visual expression.

04

Keep density legible

Use hierarchy and whitespace to hold complexity without making it feel thin.

05

Leave no residue

Every component should carry meaning, orientation or useful action.
