# Design System Inspiration of IBM

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere

IBM's website is the digital embodiment of enterprise authority built on the
Carbon Design System — a design language so methodically structured it reads
like an engineering specification rendered as a webpage. The page operates on a
stark duality: a bright white (`#ffffff`) canvas with near-black (`#161616`)
text, punctuated by a single, unwavering accent — IBM Blue 60 (`#0f62fe`). This
isn't playful tech-startup minimalism; it's corporate precision distilled into
pixels. Every element exists within Carbon's rigid 2x grid, every color maps to
a semantic token, every spacing value snaps to the 8px base unit.

The IBM Plex type family is the system's backbone. IBM Plex Sans at light weight
(300) for display headlines creates an unexpectedly airy, almost delicate
quality at large sizes — a deliberate counterpoint to IBM's corporate gravity.
At body sizes, regular weight (400) with 0.16px letter-spacing on 14px captions
introduces the meticulous micro-tracking that makes Carbon text feel engineered
rather than designed. IBM Plex Mono serves code, data, and technical labels,
completing the family trinity alongside the rarely-surfaced IBM Plex Serif.

What defines IBM's visual identity beyond monochrome-plus-blue is the reliance
on Carbon's component token system. Every interactive state maps to a CSS custom
property prefixed with `--cds-` (Carbon Design System). Buttons don't have
hardcoded colors; they reference `--cds-button-primary`,
`--cds-button-primary-hover`, `--cds-button-primary-active`. This tokenized
architecture means the entire visual layer is a thin skin over a deeply
systematic foundation — the design equivalent of a well-typed API.

**Key Characteristics:**

- IBM Plex Sans at weight 300 (Light) for display — corporate gravitas through
  typographic restraint
- IBM Plex Mono for code and technical content with consistent 0.16px
  letter-spacing at small sizes
- Single accent color: IBM Blue 60 (`#0f62fe`) — every interactive element,
  every CTA, every link
- Carbon token system (`--cds-*`) driving all semantic colors, enabling
  theme-switching at the variable level
- 8px spacing grid with strict adherence — no arbitrary values, everything
  aligns
- Flat, borderless cards on `#f4f4f4` Gray 10 surface — depth through
  background-color layering, not shadows
- Bottom-border inputs (not boxed) — the signature Carbon form pattern
- 0px border-radius on primary buttons — unapologetically rectangular, no
  softening

## 2. Color Palette & Roles

### Primary

- **IBM Blue 60** (`#0f62fe`): The singular interactive color. Primary buttons,
  links, focus states, active indicators. This is the only chromatic hue in the
  core UI palette.
- **White** (`#ffffff`): Page background, card surfaces, button text on blue,
  `--cds-background`.
- **Gray 100** (`#161616`): Primary text, headings, dark surface backgrounds,
  nav bar, footer. `--cds-text-primary`.

### Neutral Scale (Gray Family)

- **Gray 100** (`#161616`): Primary text, headings, dark UI chrome, footer
  background.
- **Gray 90** (`#262626`): Secondary dark surfaces, hover states on dark
  backgrounds.
- **Gray 80** (`#393939`): Tertiary dark, active states.
- **Gray 70** (`#525252`): Secondary text, helper text, descriptions.
  `--cds-text-secondary`.
- **Gray 60** (`#6f6f6f`): Placeholder text, disabled text.
- **Gray 50** (`#8d8d8d`): Disabled icons, muted labels.
- **Gray 30** (`#c6c6c6`): Borders, divider lines, input bottom-borders.
  `--cds-border-subtle`.
- **Gray 20** (`#e0e0e0`): Subtle borders, card outlines.
- **Gray 10** (`#f4f4f4`): Secondary surface background, card fills, alternating
  rows. `--cds-layer-01`.
- **Gray 10 Hover** (`#e8e8e8`): Hover state for Gray 10 surfaces.

### Interactive

- **Blue 60** (`#0f62fe`): Primary interactive — buttons, links, focus.
  `--cds-link-primary`, `--cds-button-primary`.
- **Blue 70** (`#0043ce`): Link hover state. `--cds-link-primary-hover`.
- **Blue 80** (`#002d9c`): Active/pressed state for blue elements.
- **Blue 10** (`#edf5ff`): Blue tint surface, selected row background.
- **Focus Blue** (`#0f62fe`): `--cds-focus` — 2px inset border on focused
  elements.
- **Focus Inset** (`#ffffff`): `--cds-focus-inset` — white inner ring for focus
  on dark backgrounds.

### Support & Status

- **Red 60** (`#da1e28`): Error, danger. `--cds-support-error`.
- **Green 50** (`#24a148`): Success. `--cds-support-success`.
- **Yellow 30** (`#f1c21b`): Warning. `--cds-support-warning`.
- **Blue 60** (`#0f62fe`): Informational. `--cds-support-info`.

### Dark Theme (Gray 100 Theme)

- **Background**: Gray 100 (`#161616`). `--cds-background`.
- **Layer 01**: Gray 90 (`#262626`). Card and container surfaces.
- **Layer 02**: Gray 80 (`#393939`). Elevated surfaces.
- **Text Primary**: Gray 10 (`#f4f4f4`). `--cds-text-primary`.
- **Text Secondary**: Gray 30 (`#c6c6c6`). `--cds-text-secondary`.
- **Border Subtle**: Gray 80 (`#393939`). `--cds-border-subtle`.
- **Interactive**: Blue 40 (`#78a9ff`). Links and interactive elements shift
  lighter for contrast.

## 3. Typography Rules

### Font Family

- **Primary**: `IBM Plex Sans`, with fallbacks:
  `Helvetica Neue, Arial, sans-serif`
- **Monospace**: `IBM Plex Mono`, with fallbacks: `Menlo, Courier, monospace`
- **Serif** (limited use): `IBM Plex Serif`, for editorial/expressive contexts
- **Icon Font**: `ibm_icons` — proprietary icon glyphs at 20px

### Principles

- **Light weight at display sizes**: Carbon's expressive type set uses weight
  300 (Light) at 42px+. This creates a distinctive tension — the content speaks
  with corporate authority while the letterforms whisper with typographic
  lightness.
- **Micro-tracking at small sizes**: 0.16px letter-spacing at 14px and 0.32px at
  12px. These seemingly negligible values are Carbon's secret weapon for
  readability at compact sizes — they open up the tight IBM Plex letterforms
  just enough.
- **Three functional weights**: 300 (display/expressive), 400 (body/reading),
  600 (emphasis/UI labels). Weight 700 is intentionally absent from the
  production type scale.
- **Productive vs. Expressive**: Productive sets use tighter line-heights (1.29)
  for dense UI. Expressive sets breathe more (1.40-1.50) for marketing and
  editorial content.

## 4. Component Stylings

### Buttons

- Font: 12px weight 400

**Notification Banner**

- Full-width bar, typically Blue 60 or Gray 100 background
- White text, 14px
- Close/dismiss icon right-aligned

## 5. Layout Principles

### Spacing System

- Base unit: 8px (Carbon 2x grid)
- Component spacing scale: 2px, 4px, 8px, 12px, 16px, 24px, 32px, 40px, 48px
- Layout spacing scale: 16px, 24px, 32px, 48px, 64px, 80px, 96px, 160px
- Mini unit: 8px (smallest usable spacing)
- Padding within components: typically 16px
- Gap between cards/tiles: 1px (hairline) or 16px (standard)

### Grid & Container

- 16-column grid (Carbon's 2x grid system)
- Max content width: 1584px (max breakpoint)
- Column gutters: 32px (16px on mobile)
- Margin: 16px (mobile), 32px (tablet+)
- Content typically spans 8-12 columns for readable line lengths
- Full-bleed sections alternate with contained content

### Whitespace Philosophy

- **Functional density**: Carbon favors productive density over expansive
  whitespace. Sections are tightly packed compared to consumer design systems —
  this reflects IBM's enterprise DNA.
- **Background-color zoning**: Instead of massive padding between sections, IBM
  uses alternating background colors (white → gray 10 → white) to create visual
  separation with minimal vertical space.
- **Consistent 48px rhythm**: Major section transitions use 48px vertical
  spacing. Hero sections may use 80px–96px.

### Border Radius Scale

- **0px**: Primary buttons, inputs, tiles, cards — the dominant treatment.
  Carbon is fundamentally rectangular.
- **2px**: Occasionally on small interactive elements (tags)
- **24px**: Tags/labels (pill shape — the sole rounded exception)
- **50%**: Avatar circles, icon containers

## 6. Depth & Elevation

| Level          | Treatment                                       | Use                                 |
| -------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| Flat (Level 0) | No shadow, `#ffffff` background                 | Default page surface                |
| Layer 01       | No shadow, `#f4f4f4` background                 | Cards, tiles, alternating sections  |
| Layer 02       | No shadow, `#e0e0e0` background                 | Elevated panels within Layer 01     |
| Raised         | `0 2px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.3)`                     | Dropdowns, tooltips, overflow menus |
| Overlay        | `0 2px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.3)` + dark scrim        | Modal dialogs, side panels          |
| Focus          | `2px solid #0f62fe` inset + `1px solid #ffffff` | Keyboard focus ring                 |
| Bottom-border  | `2px solid #161616` on bottom edge              | Active input, active tab indicator  |

**Shadow Philosophy**: Carbon is deliberately shadow-averse. IBM achieves depth
primarily through background-color layering — stacking surfaces of progressively
darker grays rather than adding box-shadows. This creates a flat, print-inspired
aesthetic where hierarchy is communicated through color value, not simulated
light. Shadows are reserved exclusively for floating elements (dropdowns,
tooltips, modals) where the element genuinely overlaps content. This restraint
gives the rare shadow meaningful impact — when something floats in Carbon, it
matters.

## 7. Do's and Don'ts

### Do

- Use IBM Plex Sans at weight 300 for display sizes (42px+) — the lightness is
  intentional
- Apply 0.16px letter-spacing on 14px body text and 0.32px on 12px captions
- Use 0px border-radius on buttons, inputs, cards, and tiles — rectangles are
  the system
- Reference `--cds-*` token names when implementing (e.g.,
  `--cds-button-primary`, `--cds-text-primary`)
- Use background-color layering (white → gray 10 → gray 20) for depth instead of
  shadows
- Use bottom-border (not box) for input field indicators
- Maintain the 48px default button height and asymmetric padding for icon
  accommodation
- Apply Blue 60 (`#0f62fe`) as the sole accent — one blue to rule them all

### Don't

- Don't round button corners — 0px radius is the Carbon identity
- Don't use shadows on cards or tiles — flatness is the point
- Don't introduce additional accent colors — IBM's system is monochromatic +
  blue
- Don't use weight 700 (Bold) — the scale stops at 600 (Semibold)
- Don't add letter-spacing to display-size text — tracking is only for 14px and
  below
- Don't box inputs with full borders — Carbon inputs use bottom-border only
- Don't use gradient backgrounds — IBM's surfaces are flat, solid colors
- Don't deviate from the 8px spacing grid — every value should be divisible by 8
  (with 2px and 4px for micro-adjustments)

## 8. Responsive Behavior

### Breakpoints

| Name          | Width  | Key Changes                                  |
| ------------- | ------ | -------------------------------------------- |
| Small (sm)    | 320px  | Single column, hamburger nav, 16px margins   |
| Medium (md)   | 672px  | 2-column grids begin, expanded content       |
| Large (lg)    | 1056px | Full navigation visible, 3-4 column grids    |
| X-Large (xlg) | 1312px | Maximum content density, wide layouts        |
| Max           | 1584px | Maximum content width, centered with margins |

### Touch Targets

- Button height: 48px default, minimum 40px (compact)
- Navigation links: 48px row height for touch
- Input height: 40px default, 48px large
- Icon buttons: 48px square touch target
- Mobile menu items: full-width 48px rows

### Collapsing Strategy

- Hero: 60px display → 42px → 32px heading as viewport narrows
- Navigation: full horizontal masthead → hamburger with slide-out panel
- Grid: 4-column → 2-column → single column
- Tiles/cards: horizontal grid → vertical stack
- Images: maintain aspect ratio, max-width 100%

### Iteration Guide

1. Always use 0px border-radius on buttons, inputs, and cards — this is
   non-negotiable in Carbon
2. Letter-spacing only at small sizes: 0.16px at 14px, 0.32px at 12px — never on
   display text
3. Three weights: 300 (display), 400 (body), 600 (emphasis) — no bold
4. Blue 60 is the only accent color — do not introduce secondary accent hues
5. Depth comes from background-color layering (white → #f4f4f4 → #e0e0e0), not
   shadows
6. Inputs have bottom-border only, never fully boxed
7. Use `--cds-` prefix for token naming to stay Carbon-compatible
8. 48px is the universal interactive element height
