Mise en Mode presents a paradigm shift: instead of creating endless token variations, build with intent-based tokens and apply complete \"modes\" to express different needs. Author Donnie D'Amato, a design systems architect with 25 years of experience, introduces a methodology where 33 carefully named intent tokens replace hundreds of semantic tokens. Intents are named by purpose (action, surface, text), priority (primary, secondary, auxiliary), and property (backgroundColor, textColor)-creating a predictable, scalable system.The book progresses through three sections: Concept establishes the theoretical foundation of intents and modes; Develop provides practical implementation guidance including file management, delivery infrastructure, and authoring tools; Future explores inclusive design, personalization, and Large Expression Models-AI systems that generate design expressions algorithmically. With code examples in CSS Custom Properties, YAML configuration, and JavaScript infrastructure, this is both a strategic guide and an implementation manual. Whether starting a new design system or reconsidering an existing one, Mise en Mode offers a path to sustainable design architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 204\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 09, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50501000593656,"sku":"9798993867205","price":59.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/5629\/7208\/files\/2IuxRVaC8n9798993867205.webp?v=1789325694","url":"https:\/\/barneysbooksellers.com\/products\/mise-en-mode-hardcover","provider":"Barney's Book Sellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
