Kalvin Phillips
Cover illustration of Kalvin Phillips for The Square Ball, later expanded with an England variant as his stature outgrew the original brief.
About the Project
Created for The Square Ball, with a later England variant added once Kalvin Phillips evolved from local midfield metronome into national property.
The piece was built to balance iconography with portraiture — part cover image, part canonisation, with just enough room for the red, white, and blue version to exist without pretending subtlety was ever the plan.
The print is available here. The full process is detailed here.
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. Motion plates play inline at full page size.
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.
Deep zoom appendix
Print-resolution studies
These appendix plates are wired for the Deep Zoom lightbox flow described in the implementation spec: inspection JPEG first, then tiled print-resolution detail once the viewer is ready.
