# Create a Project

In this tutorial, we'll perform some customizations to a predefined Cognex Designer workflow, creating a simplified vision application using image processing with VisionPro tools.

1. If you haven't already started Cognex Designer, do so now, ensuring you have attached your VisionPro dongle. The Cognex Designer splash screen appears, followed by the Launch Page.

2. On the Launch Page, click the New Project tile.
3. In the New Project dialog box, type a name of your choice as the Project Name.
4. In the Project Type drop-down box, select Single Camera.
5. Click Accept. The Cognex Designer splash screen appears again and the GUI opens to a predefined Task window containing a single-camera task workflow. If a Task window does not open automatically, double-click Task in the Explorer pane to open a Task window.
