- [https://brave.com/es/](https://brave.com/es/)
- [https://www.ted.com/](https://www.ted.com/)
**Deliverable:**
- A Figma file including screenshots of the main page for all the 7 websites, URL and extracted colors next to the screenshots.
Don't forget to:
- Upload the Figma file on Github, labeled as follows: “Name_FirstName_DeliverableName_Date_VersionNumber”. For example, it can be labeled as “Doe_John_MidFiPrototype_05242024_V1”.
- Add a title within the file.
**Tips:**
- You can use Figma to extract the colors you need and export your file to PDF.
- Use the Color Pipette to extract the colors!
- You can show the main colors with filled squares or circles next to the screenshots.
- Mind the aesthetics of your deliverable! 1 page per site should be good.
