Full-black slide with a single large centered quote from Jack Self about whether we need new houses of the future.
Summary
A pure quote slide on black: one large centered statement from Jack Self questioning whether we need new houses of the future, or just to wait for people to die.
Visual description
Near-black full bleed with a small "IMPERMACULTURE CONCLUSION" header top-left and page "78" top-right. Centered in the middle of the slide, a four-line white quote set in a bold grotesque with large opening and closing quotation marks reads "Do we need to imagine houses of the future? Do we in fact need to make more housing stock, or do we just need to wait for enough people to die?", with the final word "die?" set in italic for emphasis. The attribution "JACK SELF, FOUNDER OF REAL FOUNDATION & REAL REVIEW" runs in small caps near the bottom. The white "impermaculture" badge sits bottom-right. Vast empty black margins surround the type.
Key takeaway
The discipline of giving one provocative quotation an entire black slide, centered with oversized quote marks and a single italicized word doing the emotional work. The emptiness forces the reader to sit with the statement.
Reuse notes
Use to land a single strong, even uncomfortable, idea between content sections. Italicizing one word for stress is a reusable typographic move. Best reserved for genuinely memorable quotes; overuse dilutes the pause. The centered layout and small caps attribution transfer to any color scheme.
