Ink Slab Riot — Screen-Printed Festival Stack
A gig-poster slide built from stacked all-caps display type squeezed edge-to-edge, pairing a heavy slab face against a condensed sans with a halftone ink-bleed overlay — closer to a letterpress broadside than a standard promo deck.
This design refuses polish and the comfort of whitespace. It exists for the raw energy of live music — where the lineup IS the visual, and every square centimetre should feel pulled from a letterpress shop or a Risograph drum. Hierarchy is earned through scale alone, and texture is meaning rather than decoration. It assumes a dark room and an audience that came to feel something, not to read bullet points.

A cinematic title card anchored by a towering high-contrast serif logotype and a tracked small-caps tagline, set against a desaturated atmospheric backdrop kissed by a single ember-orange light source — closer to a Villeneuve one-sheet than any conventional slide template.

A full-bleed sneaker announcement slide that channels SNKRS app energy: oversized italic compressed type slammed across a dynamically angled product shot, anchored by a single diagonal color block and a monospaced drop-date pill.
