7. [Outro] Finalize the Skew Effect
   - body: Once the skew angle has been adjusted to your preference, release the mouse to apply the transformation. Your object is now skewed!
   - voiceover: Now that you have successfully skewed your shape, you can continue to refine your design by adjusting colors, adding text, or incorporating additional shapes. Explore other Figma features to enhance your project further.
