Presentation

A presentation board has one job: to carry an argument across a room. This collection holds board and sheet templates, layout kits and the graphic assets that support them, sized for studio reviews and competition submissions.

Boards fail for predictable reasons. Every drawing at the same size, so nothing leads. Undifferentiated line weights, so the eye has nowhere to land. Text set at a size that works on screen and disappears at two metres. A template fixes the geometry; the hierarchy is still yours to set.

Choose one drawing to dominate the composition and let everything else support it. Match your drawing scales to the format the board will actually be viewed in, on paper or on a screen, and check the reading distance before you commit to a type size. A site plan projected at 60 cm wide is unreadable no matter how good the drawing is.

Our guides to composing architecture sheets and the anatomy of a winning presentation board cover the layout decisions in detail.
