Single summary board

Spandrel Presentation Board Template

Drawing-style title block along the bottom; Newsreader with DM Sans, sage 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.
