Stop assembling your toolkit piece by piece. The Architecture Starter Kit by illustrarch is our most complete package: portfolio, CV and presentation templates, rendering and CAD asset boxes, Photoshop brushes, ten illustrated eBooks and a video course, all in one download.
It covers every stage from first year studio to your first job application. Instead of buying resources one by one as each deadline appears, you start every project already equipped, with templates for the boards and applications and the assets and guides behind the drawings.

Questions
How do I get the files?
The kit is a digital product. You can download it instantly after checkout.
Which programs do I need?
It depends on the part you use: templates open in Adobe InDesign (INDD) and Photoshop (PSD); assets come as DWG (AutoCAD), SKP (SketchUp), MAX (3ds Max), RFA (Revit), OBJ, HDR, ABR brushes, PNG, JPG, SVG and TTF fonts; the component pack includes PNG, PSD and Procreate files; the eBooks are PDFs readable on any device.
Will I get future updates?
Yes. Lifetime updates are included, so future updates to the kit come with your purchase.
Why the kit instead of single products?
You get every component in one purchase, for far less than buying them separately.

Layout work steals time from your design
Portfolios, boards and presentations need a clean grid and clear type. Building a layout from a blank page takes days, and it is hard to make it look professional.
-
The blank page
Starting a layout from zero is the slowest part.
-
Weak hierarchy
Without a grid, boards look crowded and hard to read.
-
Drifting pages
Fonts, margins and spacing change from page to page.
-
Deadline pressure
Layout work always lands right before submission.
With this template
- Open in Photoshop and start editing
- A clear grid and hierarchy
- Swap in your text and images, keep the design
- Finish boards and portfolios sooner
