Final jury set

Bollard Presentation Board Template

Solid title band across the top; Syne capitals with DM Mono, terracotta palette. A presentation-board template for architecture students: every board shares one title block and sits on a 24 x 24 grid, so a jury reads the set as one piece of work.
