Ian Baird
Variant cover for The Square Ball issue 3, featuring Ian Baird as part of a wider celebration of classic kits and old Leeds iconography.
About the Project
My variant cover for issue 3 of The Square Ball, made in 2019.
The broader issue featured various players in various classic kits by various artists; this contribution focused on Ian Baird and the particular visual pleasure of old football references rendered with a little too much seriousness.
A curated image run built to let the print object, surface, and detail breathe on the page.
Open any figure to inspect surface, print detail, and framing more closely without losing the overall sequence.
Sequence note
The closing plates are intended to read like a print-room pass: object, surface, and image held in sequence rather than treated as isolated uploads.
