Louvre Presentation Board Template
Title strip across the top; Fraunces with Work Sans, rose 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.

Board by board
What goes on each board, and what a jury looks for there.
| Board | What goes here | What a jury looks for |
|---|---|---|
| Board 1 - Site and research | Research question and context text over a row of four maps | Evidence before design: what the research found |
| Board 2 - Idea and project | Wide hero band, concept text and four diagrams below | One clear idea; a strong horizontal image |
| Board 3 - Construction and detail | Long section across the board over two plans, text and a detail | Section and plan read together at the same scale |
