Poetry book designs and limited edition box set.
This independent Brighton-based poetry publishers have produced short-run chapbooks for several years. Each cover is designed as a one-off with only the B5 format a constant. Inside, each book uses unique typography designed to reflect the tone and subject matter of the poems.
For Christmas 2007, it was suggested to produce a collectors' box set that packaged five publications together. These were designed as very rough, uncoated board slipcases, with a screen-printed belly band printed on a variety of coloured stocks, hand-stamped as a limited-edition run.
Shown overleaf are four from the series, Shedman by John Davies, Cloudfish by John McCullough, Surreal Man by Ciaran O'Driscoll and The Beach Generation by John O'Donoghue.
