internal consistency related to the single artifact collection or organization system

external consistency related to multiple connected artifacts or to a system linked together

Types of Consistencytake note the book is inconsistent here

Internal Consistency using repeated elements to create a recognizable and familiar environment WITHIN a given framework (such as a website or a brand)

Pervasive Internal Consistencyusing repeated elements to create a recognizable and familiar environment across multiple channels between a brand and the people that interact with them

Consistency

how does consistency WORK

consistency takes advantage of the mental models people use to understand their world

using repeated visual and other cues a successful brand can very quickly create and call up associations in that personrsquos mental mapping

in this way a brand can

accomplish brand recognition

associate emotions (can be good or bad)

facilitate quick interpretation understanding by activating the relevant mental model and presenting familiar elements

Consistency

How do you make it

Consistency can be comprised of many aspects

some typical to web include

labeling ndash using the same words

categorization ndash using the same groupings

design elements ndash things like logo colors visual tone

fonts white space image choice curves dots lines

squares etc

voice ndash tone of copy level of complexity how

authoritative versus conversational
