Week 04
Hierarchy under pressure
What survives when the content triples and the deadline halves. Designing systems that degrade gracefully instead of collapsing.
TWO LIVE SESSIONS
ONE WRITTEN CRITIQUE
ABOUT SIX HOURS
Week 04
Hierarchy is what is left when the content stops cooperating.
(What you make)
A layout that has been stress-tested with three times its intended content.
What we cover
Hierarchy is easy when the content is tidy. This week is what happens when it is not: the copy triples, the deadline halves, and the design has to survive both.
The work
We take a working layout and stress it deliberately, then rebuild it so it degrades gracefully instead of collapsing.
