#10 New Editorial and Brutalist Templates in Swiper Studio
A few weeks back we shipped 25 use case templates covering the most common slider patterns on the web. They are solid, practical starting points - but the overall mood leans neutral. A portfolio, a testimonial carousel, a pricing grid.
Today we are adding 10 new templates with a very different attitude. Two distinct visual languages - editorial magazine and minimal brutalist - applied to six industries that were missing from the catalog (luxury fragrance, EV automotive, podcast, real estate, architecture, restaurant) and four bold restyles of the templates people reach for most often (hero, portfolio, pricing, testimonials).
Every image you see in these templates was generated inside Swiper Studio using the new AI image tools. Roughly 60 AI images across the batch, no stock photography, no photo shoots - just prompts, a few seconds of wait, and a cohesive visual language that would have taken weeks to build by hand.

#Six Industries We Were Missing
The existing catalog covered generic patterns well. These six templates fill real use case gaps.
#Luxury Fragrance Launch
Luxury Fragrance Launch - A dramatic six-slide editorial product launch for a perfume or skincare brand. Deep plum and champagne gold on off-black, Cormorant Garamond italic display, and a creative transition that gives every slide a cinematic pause. Built for SS26 campaign pages and boutique beauty launches.
#EV Automotive Reveal
EV Automotive Reveal - Cinematic dark electric vehicle launch. Seven slides walk through exterior, cockpit, tech detail, and performance specs before landing on a reserve CTA. Space Grotesk paired with JetBrains Mono for spec numbers, electric cyan accents on matte black. Number roll animations give the 0-60, range, and power stats a proper on-stage feel.
#Podcast Audio Series
Podcast Audio Series - An interview podcast season promo styled like a printed magazine issue. Fraunces italic display, ivory on true black, warm coral accent. Guest portraits, pullquotes, platform subscribe tags - everything a show needs for a launch page or a season 3 announcement.
#Real Estate Property Showcase
Real Estate Property Showcase - A single property walkthrough for a modern architectural home. Seven slides move from exterior through living room, kitchen, bedroom, pool, and floor plan, ending on a Schedule Viewing link block. Instrument Serif display, sage accents, subtle parallax on every image. For luxury listings where the photography does the selling.
#Architecture Studio
Architecture Studio - A brutalist minimal firm portfolio. Syne Extra Bold for the studio name, raw concrete and clay accents, featured projects with year tags, process sketches, team shots, contact. Built for architecture and interior design studios who want a portfolio that feels like their buildings.
#Restaurant Menu - Editorial
Restaurant Menu - Editorial - A farm-to-table menu carousel with editorial food photography. Playfair Display italic over cream, burgundy and olive accents, seven slides covering signature dishes, cocktails, dessert, chef bio, wine pairings, and reservations. The kind of menu page you would expect from a tasting-menu restaurant, not a generic listing.
#Four Restyles With a Stronger Point of View
The existing Hero, Portfolio, Pricing, and Testimonials templates are great starting points for most projects. These four restyles go in a bolder direction - useful when your brand wants typography, composition, and attitude to do the heavy lifting.
#Hero Banner - Brutalist
Hero Banner - Brutalist - Agency homepage hero where typography does the work. Archivo Black stacked type bleeding off the canvas, safety orange accents on concrete white and off-black. Six slides cover the manifesto, featured work, client list, and a Let Us Make Something contact block. Independent studios and brand-forward agencies should feel right at home.
#Portfolio Gallery - Editorial Magazine
Portfolio Gallery - Editorial Magazine - Designer portfolio styled like a printed magazine spread. Bone background, Fraunces display, IBM Plex Mono captions, and a hot pink accent that shows up in exactly the right places. Six spreads move through an issue cover, featured work, behind-the-scenes process, and a colophon with a commissions CTA.
#Pricing - Brutalist
Pricing - Brutalist - Typographic SaaS pricing grid. Archivo Black at 120px for tier names, JetBrains Mono for prices and feature lists, electric yellow accents on true black. Hero, three tiers with Most Chosen emphasis, feature comparison grid, and an FAQ closer. For products that want their pricing page to feel like a product, not a spreadsheet.
#Testimonials - Editorial Portrait Restyle
Testimonials - Editorial Portrait Restyle - Magazine-style testimonial reel. Huge portraits, Fraunces italic pullquotes, bone and burnt sienna palette. Six slides alternate composition between portraits and pullquote overlays, closing on a Read All Reviews flat lay. A long way from the standard five-star card carousel.
#Editorial and Brutalist - Why These Two Moods
The existing catalog leaned quiet and photographic. These ten templates lean in the other direction on purpose.
Editorial magazine - confident serif display type, generous whitespace, pullquotes, mono captions. Inspired by printed design quarterlies and fashion issues. Works for brands that want to feel considered and premium without defaulting to generic minimalism.
Minimal brutalist - oversized display type, concrete textures, single bold accent colors, deliberate asymmetry. Works for agencies, developer tools, and brands that want their site to look made rather than generated.
Together they give the catalog a visible range. Pick a template, pick a mood, customize from there.
#Every Image Generated With AI
All 60-ish images across the ten templates were created with the AI image tools built into Swiper Studio. Cormorant-era perfume bottles on black velvet. Editorial portraits for the podcast hosts. Aerial coastal roads at dusk for the EV reveal. Overhead flat lays of architectural sketches. A single orange paper airplane on bare concrete.
The point is not that AI replaces photography - it does not, and the best templates will always mix generated and real imagery. The point is that building a cohesive ten-template batch no longer requires a week of stock photo hunting or a photographer on retainer. The templates now ship with imagery that matches their mood, and every image is a prompt away from being regenerated to match yours.
#How to Use a Template
- Open your dashboard at /projects
- Click New Project and choose one of the ten new templates to start from
- Swap content, adjust colors, regenerate images, tweak breakpoints
- Export to React, Vue, Next.js, HTML, Web Components, or Webflow - or publish to CDN
The whole flow takes minutes. Start from a template, end with production code.
#Works With AI Agents
If you have connected an agent through the MCP server, templates pair beautifully with prompt-driven customization. Open a template, tell the agent to rewrite the copy for your brand, regenerate the hero image with a new prompt, swap the color palette - and let it handle the editing. Templates plus agents is the fastest way from a blank idea to a finished slider.
#More on the Way
These ten templates focus on editorial and brutalist moods. Next up we are looking at modular card layouts, data visualization sliders, and a few more industry-specific designs. If there is a template you would like to see, let us know.
