The Future of Design is Still Personal: Reaching Toward True Adaptation
summary
Argues that design must let people become creators and shows concrete work toward that: Material You on Android 12 uses wallpaper-driven theming with the HCT color space (shipped, in-market); variable fonts and axis-based design (weight/width/ops) are real tools already used; examples include screen-size and attention as distinct axes and TV input modality affecting layouts. Mostly speculative system thinking plus shipped examples, not a how-to walkthrough.
