FVS MODULES
Short Stand-alone Units to Accompany Your Courses
No time for an entire course? The FVS Modules offer short lessons you can complete in a few hours. Covering essential topics, additional learning material, and reverse-engineered real cases, this is your go-to place for quick and effective learning.
FVS Essentials
When in doubt, zoom out. If your old methods seem inadequate, inefficient, or ineffective, it’s time for an update. In the FVS Essentials section, you’ll find fundamental lessons that challenge and refine our design processes, helping you regain focus.
The FVS Mindset
Get into the right mindset before starting your design process. Designing the design process is design.
The CAA Method
The dynamics of the design processes of form-based visual systems. This module accompanies the course The CAA Method.
The FVS Manifesto
The extended version of the FVS Manifesto explains why we need to think about and work with systems.
Arguments for FVS
Do you need to convince your clients, your students and maybe even yourself of the benefits of Flexible Visual Systems? This module will help you.
Types of Designers
What kind of designer do you want to be? A reflection on the options we are given and an invitation to think differently about our function as Flexible System Designers.
How to Write a Brief
You cannot design something functional if you do not know your design’s function. Unfortunately, this function can be quite complex.
FVS Case Studies
Case studies are great for learning from real-world examples. They provide detailed insights into specific situations, showing what worked, what didn’t, and why. By analyzing these cases, you can gain practical knowledge and apply those lessons to your own challenges.
This is a footnote to the course The CAA Method. In the course, I do not discuss the possibility of stacking components. Here are a couple of case studies of visual identities using stacked components.
