About this design
Where the Atelier style comes from, and what it signals.
Atelier is an architecture portfolio presentation built like a sheet pulled from a drawing board. The background is warm paper #F4F1EA, the text is ink #1C1B19, and a single burnt-sienna #B4502E does all the accenting, one mark per slide and no more. Projects are numbered as plates, 01 through 06, in Spline Sans Mono, and headings line up on a baseline grid so every rule and caption sits where the eye expects it. The look is quiet and exact, the way a good set of drawings reads before anyone explains them.
The system runs on two Google Fonts. Jost carries titles at 36 to 64px in ink and also sets the body copy, while Spline Sans Mono handles the small parts: plate captions, project numbers, years, roles and the labels on the drafting dimension ticks. Those ticks, thin 1px lines in #DBD5C8 capped with short end marks and a centered measurement label, are the recurring motif; they underline a heading on one slide and span a margin on the next. Image areas are tonal blocks built from soft gradients and duotone fills in #C9A98E and #DBD5C8, never photographs, so the layout stays consistent before you drop in real renders.
This is a design portfolio deck for people whose work is judged on taste and rigor at the same time: architects, industrial and product designers, and studios presenting a case study or a body of selected work. The sample is a fictional studio, Meridian Atelier, with six plausible projects spanning a house, a pavilion, a chair and an exhibition, so the index, the project plate and the case study read like real work rather than placeholder text.
Use it for
- Architecture and interior project portfolios
- Industrial and product design case studies
- Design studio capability and credentials decks
- Case study portfolio decks for awards or client pitches
- Selected-work overviews for a single designer
Skip it for
- Data-heavy business reviews with multi-series charts and tables
- High-energy launch or consumer decks that want color and photography
- Dense text reports where wide margins waste the page
The presentation design prompt
This is the exact text that gets sent to your AI.
Create a presentation in the 'Atelier' theme: a refined architecture and design case-study portfolio that looks like a project laid out on a drawing board, quiet and exact. Background: warm paper #F4F1EA on every slide, with white #FFFFFF only for tonal image plates. Typography: titles and headings in 'Jost' at 36 to 64px, weight 500 to 600, ink #1C1B19, tracking near -0.01em; body copy at 14 to 16px in #4A4843; and every small label, project number, plate caption, eyebrow, year and dimension tick label in 'Spline Sans Mono' at 10 to 12px, uppercase, letter-spaced 0.18em to 0.24em, in muted #8E897E. Both are Google Fonts. Layout grammar: generous wide margins, a strong left axis, content set on a baseline grid so type and rules line up. Number projects as plates, mono numerals 01 to 06 in a fixed column. Draw drafting dimension ticks as thin 1px #DBD5C8 lines capped with short perpendicular end ticks and a centered mono measurement label, used to underline a heading or span a margin. Image areas are tasteful tonal blocks built from CSS gradients or duotone fills in #C9A98E, #DBD5C8 and ink, never photographs, each carrying a small mono PLATE caption. Use terracotta #B4502E exactly once per slide as the single accent, a key stat, a short rule, a caption color or one filled tick, never twice. Thin 1px rules in #DBD5C8 separate sections. Strictly avoid: a second accent color, drop shadows, rounded cards, gradients used as decoration rather than image plates, clipart or icon fonts, stock photos, dense bullet lists, and cramped margins. Use this theme for my slides. Ask me what the presentation is about first, then apply the theme to every slide.View this prompt and its data on GitHub
