01
Access Figma
Set up your Figma account and access the workshop file where everything you need is prepared.
02
Set Up Your Canvas
Before creating content, set up the invisible structure that will make everything align beautifully.
03
Build Your Slides
Now the fun part: creating your 5 slides. Each slide has a specific purpose — follow the structure in your theme brief.
Remember the 4 Principles:
As you build, constantly ask:
• HIERARCHY: What should they see first?
• CONTRAST: Can they read it?
• SPACE: Does it breathe?
• RHYTHM: Is there a pattern?
04
Apply the Principles
You've built your 5 slides. Now check each one against the 4 principles to ensure they're working together.
