Here's what I learned from reading this article:
Atomic design is a methodology for creating design systems.
Atomic design functions on the idea in Chemistry where atoms are the smallest units of matter but combine to form more complex organisms.

Make it taller than the others
Make the signup button more noticeable by making it larger, or a different color
