summary

Twelve interviews produce 52 story portraits showing designers use rule-based “graphical substrates” (concept, content, context inputs mapped to spatial and temporal outputs), e.g. one designer bases every size and color on the number 42. Two technology probes, Contextify (reader- and environment-driven variants) and Linkify (property-to-property dynamic links), are tested with 12 professionals who find concrete uses; a follow-up prototype, StyleBlocks, turns CSS properties into editable substrates so changes propagate instead of requiring manual edits.
