Chris and Claude Ball worked through Figma design system architecture for Classic City's component library, agreeing on nomenclature (components as lowest-common-denominator elements, sections as compiled groupings) and testing variable-based spacing, width, and typography systems for easier WordPress handoff. They also scoped early direction for the Primo/ASP project, agreeing the purple-heavy brand needs toning down with a possible air-bubble/checkerboard texture treatment, and that the site will reuse Primo's design with ASP's colors swapped in rather than a full redesign. Claude raised a payment boundary, declining to start work until his invoice is paid, and Chris agreed to try to get him paid before the weekend so he could start early.

What came out of it

Decisions5

Adopted terminology: components are the lowest common denominator (elements), sections are compiled groupings of components
Width variables (thin/regular/wide) will be applied at the content level inside a fill-width container rather than padding at the container level
Primo/ASP site will reuse the Primo design with ASP's color palette swapped in rather than building two distinct designs
Design direction will lean toward a clean, Velociteach-style look rather than a highly unique concept
Purple will be dialed back and a texture (e.g. checkerboard or air-bubble pattern) explored instead of a flat gradient

Risks and blockers3

ASP's brand feels very different from Primo, so simply swapping colors may not fully satisfy expectations
Primo contract not yet signed, so the Monday kickoff and timeline are not fully locked
Claude is exhausted from an unrelated intense work deadline at his day job, which could affect his availability

Open questions4

How to best showcase spacing and typography variables in the style guide
Whether Figma's extra variable column is meant for desktop/tablet/mobile responsive sizing
What specific art direction and image treatment will work best for Primo/ASP
Whether Primo has more unique visual patterns (e.g. air-compartment textures) in their product videos worth using

Next steps6

MeClean out unnecessary variables and turn the current Figma file into a reusable starter template
MeAdd missing typography levels (e.g. H6) to the style guide
VendorBuild out spacing and typography showcase examples in the style guide
MeGet Claude paid so he can start on Primo/ASP design before the official Monday kickoff
MeArrange a 30-minute call between the client contact and Claude to discuss design likes/dislikes
ClientPrimo contract needs to be signed before Monday kickoff
