Design and Structure
The diagram arranges four tall, rounded rectangular cards in a single horizontal row. Equal card dimensions and consistent spacing create a balanced composition. Each card starts with a compact upper section containing a centered icon. A V-shaped divider connects this area to the main content panel below. A numbered circular marker sits within the divider, establishing a distinct focal point for each stage. The numbers progress from one to four across the layout.
Below each marker, a prominent heading introduces the stage, followed by a multiline description area. Centered text alignment maintains visual consistency across all four cards. The generous vertical proportions accommodate explanations without changing the overall arrangement. Each card also stands independently, allowing viewers to examine individual stages while following the complete sequence. The rounded corners soften the geometric structure, while repeated spacing and typography establish a recognizable visual rhythm.
