A one page design (or One Pager) is a graphical way of explaining concepts in a visual way. It is a visual representation of the way information is stored in the zettelkasten (Zettelkasten method of note taking), but rather than a focus on searchable text, it is meant to present that information to other people.

The benefit to the learner is it forces a full understanding of the topic because the end design is concise and clear.

The benefit to the consumer are that the information is presented in a "cool" attractive way, only one concept is presented at a time. And because the presentation is concise (Single idea zettels boost brain connections), only what's relevant makes it onto the page.

A side benefit is that the One Pagers are a consistent 11 x 11 inch size and follow a standardized design format so they can be compiled and printed into a coffee book.

The standard design format includes using a split complimentary color palette, clear visual heirarchy, and clear use of whitespace. In a practical sense, the main elements of a One Pager are:

  • Title: A descriptive title that summarizes the
  • Central Image: Made from a single example or analogy
  • Supporting Text and Images: The purpose is to support and explain the central concept/image (Clockwork game philosophy builds infinite fun)
  • Unique ID: The base ID and a revision ID if needed. A zetel ID (Unique IDs Make Notes Easy to Find) for the data it holds and the consistency across platforms.
  • Whitespace around the image for visual clarity
