Challenge 3: Why This Capstone Still Matches the Same Comparative Shape Despite a More Lopsided Gap — Solution Walkthrough

Summary:

This capstone works one real app screen end to end, with Figma's and
Penpot's own equivalent workflows shown side by side at every step —
the same shape used by Vector Graphics' and Raster Editing
Fundamentals' own capstones, even though Chapter 2 named this course's
own tool gap as genuinely more lopsided than either of those courses'
own pairings.

Why the capstone shape depends on course type, not on how balanced the
tools are:

Per this chapter's own tip box, this capstone shape fits comparative,
two-tool courses specifically because both tools are being taught
side by side throughout the entire course, regardless of how evenly
matched they happen to be in the real world. Figma and Penpot are
still two tools covered together chapter by chapter, which is what
actually determines the capstone's own shape — not whether their
market presence happens to be balanced or lopsided.

Why an honest gap doesn't change the underlying course structure:

Chapter 2's own honesty about the lopsided gap affects how each tool
is framed and weighted throughout the course's own explanations, but
it doesn't change the basic fact that this is still a course teaching
two tools' equivalent workflows together — exactly the condition that
calls for a side-by-side capstone rather than a narrative single-tool
session.

Why this isn't a contradiction:

Naming Penpot's real disadvantages honestly and still teaching it
alongside Figma throughout the whole course are fully compatible —
this capstone simply follows through on that same structure at the
very end, the same way it was followed throughout every earlier
chapter.

WHY THIS WORKS AS AN ANSWER
------------------------------
This exercise checks that the side-by-side capstone shape is correctly
understood as following from this course's own comparative structure,
not from how evenly matched the two tools happen to be.
