Summary

A recurring interview layout: a labeled "INTERVIEW" name block, a halftone portrait, a pixel-font pull-quote, a colored "NOTES" card, and a two-column Q&A.

Visual description

Warm off-white ground. Top-left a pill badge "INTERVIEW" sits above a large all-caps name "CECILE POIGNANT" and a small role line ("STRATEGIC FUTURIST, SPEAKER, EDUCATOR AND EDITOR."). The right side holds a slightly tilted black-and-white halftone portrait of a woman in glasses with crossed arms; over its edge floats a pale-green card with a pixel/bitmap quote ("Trends should really focus on slowdown"). Lower right, a rotated electric-blue rounded card titled "NOTES" in pixel type carries a short handwritten-style stat ("The number of trend reports has tripled since 2016"). The lower-left runs a two-column "GW:" / "CP:" interview in small black sans-serif. Marker scribbles and arrows decorate the margins; running header top-left, footer slug bottom-right.

Key takeaway

A consistent interview template that stays recognizable across the deck: INTERVIEW tag, big name, tilted halftone portrait, one pixel-type pull-quote on a colored card, and a "NOTES" callout. The two card colors (mint for the quote, blue for the note) code two different voices.

Reuse notes

Directly reusable for any report or magazine that runs a series of expert interviews and needs them to feel like one system. Swap the portrait and recolor the cards per speaker if desired, but keeping them fixed reads as more disciplined. Needs decent portrait photography; halftoning hides resolution issues.
