F1 layout grid five-step set-up

Summary

A step-by-step layout-grid set-up page where five captioned panels run left to right, each adding one move so the grid is built up box by box and centered with red registration marks by the final step.

Visual description

Warm off-white background, thin top rule with the "Visual Identity / System" kicker, "Layout grid" title, outlined "Set-up" subtitle and "129" at right. The upper-left margin carries a short intro plus a bold "Note". Across the lower two-thirds are five equal vertical panels labelled "Step 1" to "Step 5", each with a one-line caption and a square diagram below. The diagrams progress: Step 1 a faint base grid; Step 2 light-grey unit boxes overlaid; Step 3 the boxes that fit isolated as solid black squares with a red bracket on the right; Step 4 the same black-box grid centered with small red registration ticks on the sides; Step 5 the cleaned base grid with a small red corner mark at top left. The recurring black boxes and the single red accent track the build sequence.

Key takeaway

Telling a multi-step process as a row of equal panels that each add exactly one change, so the reader sees the system assemble itself. Using one red accent (brackets, registration ticks) purely to mark progress keeps the otherwise monochrome sequence easy to follow.

Reuse notes

A clean format for any "set it up in N steps" page in documentation or a brand book. The progressive-panel approach reads instantly and scales to four or six steps. The single spot color for guidance marks is a tidy device worth reusing.
