Wheat-Paste Grotesk — Unfiltered Portfolio
A confrontational, full-bleed portfolio template for creatives who refuse to be polite — oversized compressed grotesque headlines bleed past the viewport edge while a single violent neon accent detonates against raw concrete grey. Zero apologies, zero rounded corners, maximum intent.
Design a slide with confrontational brutalist character — raw, full-bleed, and unapologetic, where an oversized compressed headline tears across the canvas edge rather than sitting politely within it. One violent neon accent detonates against concrete grey on a single structural element only, never used decoratively. All geometry is hard right-angles and hairline borders; no shadows, no softness, no rounding. Grid discipline exists to be broken — one metadata element drops deliberately out of alignment as a structural statement, not an accident.

Blueprint Trace — OMA Construction Draft
A monospace-only, all-caps architectural template structured like a live construction document: dimension lines bracket the slide edges, orthographic wireframes anchor the layout, and warm trace-paper cream distinguishes it from sterile digital blueprints.
Crouwel Press — Stedelijk Exhibition Wall
A museum-poster title slide ruled by one enormous condensed headline crashing into the top edge and tiny mono dates anchoring the foot — bone paper, nothing else. The single thin rule and cadmium-red meta accent are its only concessions to decoration.
One Term, No Mercy — Brutalist Lecture Card
A lecture slide stripped to its structural skeleton — one concept word towers at display scale behind a raw industrial yellow band, then a hard rule drops you into a tight monospace definition block. Built for professors who need a term to hit like a fist, not drift past like a bullet point.
