IRIS: Hurst Street Press
llustrations and block design for a three-part magazine. Published by Hurst Street Press between 2016-2017, IRIS is a three-part magazine, showcasing the work of Oxford-based writers and artists. All the work included in IRIS responded to the theme 'Sense of place'. Here you can see the letterpress block I designed for the inside cover and a series of title page illustrations that were used for the first edition. The block design was a homage to the work of William Morris and the Kelmscott Press, taking the eponymous flower as its central focus. I drew it by hand before digitally editing it, and having it transferred to a letterpress block. Each of the three volumes was printed using letterpress and risograph, with individually marbled bands.
