About this design
Where the Billboard style comes from, and what it signals.
Billboard is exactly what it says. Each slide is one full-bleed solid color and one line of type, set in Anton at between 70 and 110px with -0.03em tracking, filling the canvas the way an outdoor ad fills a hoarding. The tradition comes from the 48-sheet poster and the bus shelter board. Everything that does not serve the single message is gone.
The color rotation is red #FF3D2E, blue #0057FF, yellow #FFD400, black #111111, green #00B364, with white type on every color except yellow, which takes black #111111 for contrast. Anton is the only font, an extra-bold condensed Google Font built for this use. The permitted extras are an oversized arrow character at 120px in a corner or one huge stat at 170px, and the brand line in 12px uppercase at the bottom-left.
The constraint forces every piece of copy to earn its place at scale. Use Billboard for campaign launches, brand rallies, and any situation where the room needs to feel the energy of the message before it reads it.
Use it for
- Campaign launch and brand rally presentations
- Marketing kick-offs where energy matters as much as information
- Conference opening or closing statements
- Short punchy decks of five to eight slides with one idea each
Skip it for
- Any deck that needs body paragraphs, data tables or charts
- Investor or board materials; the format signals campaign, not analysis
The slide design prompt
This is the exact text that gets sent to your AI.
Create a presentation in the 'Billboard' theme, an outdoor ad campaign. Every slide is one full-bleed solid color, rotating in this order: red #FF3D2E, blue #0057FF, yellow #FFD400, black #111111, green #00B364. Typography: 'Anton' (a Google Font) everywhere, an extra-bold uppercase sans with a condensed feel, tight tracking of -0.03em, set between 70 and 110px so the headline fills most of the slide; white type on every color except yellow #FFD400, which takes black #111111. Copy reads like ad lines, short and declarative. Signature motifs: (1) a tiny brand line bottom-left, 12px uppercase with 0.22em tracking, reading 'NORTHWIND · SUMMER 2026'; (2) at most one extra element per slide, an oversized arrow character '→' at 120px in a corner or one huge stat at 170px; (3) nothing else on the canvas. Strictly avoid: more than one background color per slide, gradients, borders or frames, body paragraphs, charts or tables, small decorative icons. 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
