Studio review set
Contour Presentation Board Template
Solid title band across the top; Outfit throughout, forest palette. Dark theme for screen and projector reviews. 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.
