Black & Gold Countdown Poster
A black-and-gold countdown poster where one huge numeral holds the middle in clear air, and every other fact is said exactly once, in one of three bands. Six fields.
We made two examples: one in champagne gold lit from the upper left on warm near-black, and one in antique brass lit from the right on slate blue. Both have the same three bands and a single numeral in clear air, and in both the corner with nothing to say stays empty.
You get a black-and-gold poster with one huge numeral in the middle, a wide ring of dark around it that nothing enters, and every fact written just once. The gold reads as a lit surface, bright along one side of each stroke and shadowed along the other. The shaft of light at the top varies in strength, and the unit sometimes sits closer to the numeral than asked. If that bothers you, generate again.

Black & Gold Countdown Poster
What this makes
A black-and-gold countdown poster where one huge numeral holds the middle in clear air, and every other fact is said exactly once, in one of three bands. Six fields.
The whole template, in one piece. The steps below are the entire workflow.
How to use it
- Copy the whole template with the button above.
- Replace the six FIELDS lines. Say each fact once — if the host and the event share words, cut the overlap before generating rather than after.
- Paste it into any image-capable agent or model, in one message. One run returns the poster.
- Check by covering the middle band. What remains should be five short texts with obvious air between them; if it reads as a list, the bands were not kept apart.
What you swap
- The host
- Vibary
- The event
- The First Live Build Session
- The number, and its unit
- 3 — days
- The when and where
- 18.07.2026 · online, doors at seven
- The one line at the base
- Seats are free, and there are two hundred
- The metal and the dark
- warm champagne gold, lit from the upper left · a near-black brown ground with a faint fall of light from above
Before it runs
- A number worth enlarging. Three days is a poster; forty-seven days is a spreadsheet.
- One host and one event, each said once. Splitting a host into an organisation and a department is how these posters end up printing their own title twice.
- Nothing else to add. Five texts and a number is the whole allowance; a sixth text is what turns ceremony into a flyer.
When to reach for it
For the week before something formal — an awards night, a conference, a launch, a gala. The register is ceremony rather than sale, and the genre's two failures are saying the same thing twice and stacking eight lines with no air between them.
What changes
- One page in three bands with real emptiness between them, so hierarchy comes from space rather than from eight sizes of gold type.
- The numeral owns the middle band alone, with a wide clear ring around it that nothing enters.
- Every fact appears exactly once — the poster names the host, the event and the date in one place each, which is the specific thing these templates get wrong.
- Gold behaves like gold: bright along one edge, dark on the opposite, warm in the middle, instead of a flat yellow fill called gold.
- A capped number of texts, so the poster cannot quietly grow a ninth line the way real ones do.
Pairs with
- Cut & Paste Event PosterA loud cut-and-paste event poster where the materials are stacked in a fixed order — ground, shapes, photograph, ornament, type — so the noise has a structure under it. Seven fields.
- Halftone Travel CollageA travel-poster collage where a dotted field above and a real photograph below meet along one seam — and the dots cross into the picture rather than stopping at its edge. Six fields.
- Memphis Style PosterA loud Memphis-style event poster bordered by repeating type, where each geometric texture belongs to exactly one kind of element — dots to figures, stripes to props, grid to the floor. Seven fields.
