Full-bleed warm-toned portrait with an oversized white title overlaid across the top-left, plus a thin orange footer bar.
Summary
The title slide: a warm, dim portrait of a young person fills the frame, with the report title set large in white across the upper-left and a slim orange bar along the bottom.
Visual description
A full-bleed editorial photograph in warm brown and cream tones shows a young person in profile wearing sunglasses and a pale shirt against a wood-toned background. Oversized white grotesque type reads "Navigating the collapse of the retail funnel" stacked across four lines in the upper-left quadrant. A thin orange footer bar runs along the bottom edge with the small "DEPT." wordmark at far left and a centered "Longread" label.
Key takeaway
Letting one cinematic portrait carry the whole cover, with the title reversed out in white over the darker side of the image so it stays legible without a scrim. The slim orange footer bar is the only graphic element and quietly previews the accent that runs through the deck.
Reuse notes
A confident editorial cover for a report or longread when you have strong, moody photography with a naturally dark region to set type over. Needs an image with enough tonal contrast in the headline zone; on a busy or light photo the white title would need a gradient scrim.
