+# one-way-flow
+
+All elements flow or point in a single direction.
+
+## Structure
+
+- All visual elements oriented toward one direction (left, right, up, or down)
+- Arrows, shapes, and text all reinforce the directional movement
+- Creates strong momentum and intentionality
+- No counter-directional elements
+
+## Best For
+
+- Progress or momentum narratives
+- Conversion or pipeline flows
+- "Moving forward" messaging
+- Directional process diagrams
+
+## Visual Elements
+
+- Consistent directional arrows or chevrons
+- Elements sized to suggest movement (larger at front)
+- Color gradient reinforcing direction
+- Optional motion lines or speed effects
+
+## Text Placement
+
+- Labels along the flow direction
+- Title at the start of the flow
+- Outcome or destination at the end
+
+## Recommended Pairings
+
+- `corporate-memphis`: Business pipeline flows
+- `cartoon-flat`: High-energy directional designs
+- `ikea-manual`: Clear directional instructions
