Step by step

How it goes

  1. 01

    Set the message 8 min

    Choose one audience, one purpose and one primary line of text.

    Use only images, fonts and logos you have permission to use. Avoid misleading claims or unauthorised brand assets.

  2. 02

    Build the hierarchy 8 min

    Arrange headline, supporting text and image with consistent spacing.

  3. 03

    Check and export 8 min

    Review contrast, spelling and permissions before exporting the correct size.

Listen to your body: stop if anything hurts, and check with a doctor if you have a health condition.
