things to consider:
The getting started file consists of initial set up and overall how figma is used in DCP. It will house pages about libraries, colors, and typography. Pages in this file serve as documentations on best practices.
libraries A library in figma hosts shared styles that can be applied to any file. At the starter level, we have six libraries. Libraries can also be created for individual projects (i.e. CPP library) for things that are more customized for that particular tool. For now, we will approach by building six base libraries before going to individual projects.

typography
[x] testing current typefaces and font sizes to see if they comply with accessibility standards
colors
Figuring out how to connect storybook and figma and understand the capabilities of this connection to see how useful it would be to help bridge design + engineering gap
Currently working on the starter pack file, specifically the libraries page, i will create individual issues to create/edit libraries once i finish up setting up the documentation for libraries
two new git issues have been added: color library and typography library and are currently in progress
typography library is done and live, colors library and figma + storybook plug-ins are wip
grid & breakpoint library and design token pipeline in progress, starting up redesign to test current state of our ds
Context & Purpose
Creating a new design system to align current and future projects to follow. (currently named Streetscape)
We found it difficult to find documentation about what makes up the current design system, causing confusion on what should be used to as DCP's standards. Specifically:
What Figma libraries should be referenced?
Our goal is to create one system to make it easier to reference and update things related to Figma and Storybook.
