“Full-Featured Art Direction for the Web”
summary
Argues design systems must power expressive art direction by starting markup-first and layering progressive enhancement so content always reads even if CSS or JS fail; shows AA accessibility practice (focus rings retained, braille campaign buttons, Axe plus manual QA) and uses feature queries like prefers-reduced-motion and the :lang pseudo‑class to deliver localized layouts; demos Slack/Hillary work: localized avatars as design tokens, Japanese vertical headlines via CSS Grid and writing-mode, and metrics‑style wins from incremental, testable changes.
