# Material Design carries the structure. U.S. Web Design System (USWDS) appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Material Design (Style, 2014–) and its accent from U.S. Web Design System (USWDS) (Style, 2015–). Structural cues: Hierarchy and shadow expressed by elevation; Surfaces overlapping like sheets of paper; Motion that shows cause and effect; A standardized unit of spacing. Accent cues, used sparingly: Body text runs large and lines wrap somewhere between 45 and 90 characters; The same two colors recur across agencies, a deep blue #005EA2 and an alert red #D83933; Spacing never lands on an arbitrary number, only on steps of a fixed scale; Public Sans carries everything from headings to body text, wide set and free of quirks. Composition: Place elements on a grid of multiples of 8 and standardize the spacing.. Type and lettering: Build the hierarchy from one type family and separate levels by weight and size.. Let one material quality come from the second style: Deep blue #005EA2 leads and red #D83933 follows, with grays taken only from the fixed run between #1B1B1B and #F0F0F0, never mixed in between.. Mood: Trust, Technology, Play. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #005EA2, #D83933, #162E51. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Material Design: Do not add shadow as decoration. The moment the elevation rules break, the hierarchy is telling a lie.
# - U.S. Web Design System (USWDS): Add one in between value to fill a gap in the scale and the system is gone, because every page then starts inventing measurements of its own.
