Aside

The <Aside> component is a wrapper component that adds styling to make the text display smaller than the default body text; using body-long-01 and adds the correct top border styles.

It should only be used within a <Column> component with specific parameters. <Column colMd={2} colLg={3} offsetMd={1} offsetLg={1}>

Example

With hanging rule

It is more important than ever that we own our own ethos, make palpable our brand values, and incorporate an instantly identifiable IBMness in everything we do.

Without aesthetic, design is either the humdrum repetition of familiar clichés or a wild scramble for novelty. Without aesthetic, the computer is but a mindless speed machine, producing effects without substance, form without relevant content, or content without meaningful form.

– Paul Rand

Aesthetic is defined as the philosophical theory or set of principles governing outward appearance or actions.

Without hanging rule

Like our brand values, our design ethos must be palpable in everything we produce. Our philosophy and principles are for designers and non-designers alike–anyone authoring or authorizing any form of design on behalf of IBM.

They provide clear criteria for the conception, creativity and craftsmanship our brand demands and our clients deserve. The expression of our philosophy may evolve and expand over time, but our principles are designed to endure, ensuring everything IBM is distinctly IBM.

<Aside>
**Good design is always good design.** What we borrow from our own design
history is not a mid-century aesthetic in stylistic terms, but the modernist
attitudes and approach used at the time.

A by-product of every experience with IBM should be time—time saved or time
well-spent.
