What to Expect During Your First Week

Summary

The first-week page: same sage-green spread, a four-line serif headline left, two brief body paragraphs right.

Visual description

Full-bleed sage-green, type in near-black. Headline "What to Expect During Your First Week" sits top-left in the light humanist serif across four lines. The right page carries two short paragraphs in the sturdier text serif, ragged right, about being assigned to a project, grabbing lunch with partners, and asking questions. Section letter "A" bottom-left, page numbers "12" and "13", circled-© bottom-right. The lower two-thirds of the page is intentionally empty.

Key takeaway

The discipline of holding the exact same template across consecutive slides (first day, first week, first month) so the reader's eye lands in the same place each time and only the content changes. Restraint with short copy plus lots of green breathing room keeps a sequence of similar pages from feeling dense.

Reuse notes

Best used as part of a repeating set rather than alone; its value is the rhythm it creates with its neighbors. Good for onboarding sequences, step explanations, or any "what to expect" series. The empty lower half is deliberate breathing room, not wasted space.
