Architecture overview
Information architecture shifts The key shift is the addition of a complicated (but still relatively simplified) architecture to supplant what is explored as a network.

The inner networks
Each of these expand into a network in use.

Riffpoints are the simple converters
Many designs won't need to go deeper than this. Seriously. I've spun out 6, with both light and dark modes, and two of them I didn't have to touch. Another 2 I wanted shifts in contrast. One I added color coding and extra artifacts

Scalers extend the range
Scalers change cadences mathematically, such as size, weight, and negative space.

Define forms the consistency and voice
There are patterns to the juxtaposition of multiple aspects of design, and none more so than color. The juxtaposition of color deeply affects accessibility as well as visual cadence, so having a set of predefined cadence is essential. What I have found through designing permutations is that it also keeps

Use adds fluidity and dials it in
"Natural" has rhythms and cadences. But make rhythms and cadences too strict, and they no longer feel natural. They feel cold, machine-like, authoritative, maybe even...warlike.

Prime time: themes
Tokens Studio comes pre-packaged with Themes. Combined with set, they define what's being applied to components.

Building considerations
Design tokens have two really strong enablements of their own:

Taxonomy considerations
The tool informed taxonomy I leveraged Tokens Studio to work out my details. The team is amazing.

Questionable logics
First: always question. These are just the ones I continue to question in my own use. There is part of me that knows there’s more, but the message is clear: keep thinking. 😉
