Open these 5 images on Figma and draw lines and grids every time you find aligned elements.
### Deliverables
- A 3-page Figma file with 3 different elements from an app (it can be from 3 different apps) that are accessible. The three measures must be different.
- A Figma file including:
- The screens with lines on top to show grids.
