This ISTD project, called Not Just Fleurons, required me to explore the broadest possible interpretation of plants (through their form, function, sensory appeal, and symbolic meaning) and to respond typographically with a conceptually rich, research-driven design that communicates a clear, original perspective.
My concept explores the natural patterns found in plants, using cyanotype printing to celebrate their shape, texture and repetition through a visually rich, handmade process. The final outcome takes the form of a vibrant book that captures the sensory appeal and structural rhythm of botanical forms. By combining, typography, tactile printmaking with research into garden design and plant characteristics, the project highlights how pattern connects us to the natural world in both subtle and striking ways.
