Gaetano Berardi The Lion!
A Gaetano Berardi portrait for the Leeds That podcast — The Lion, a cult hero who somehow made sheer commitment look like a design principle.
About the Project
Gaetano Berardi, made for the Leeds That podcast — a tribute to a player who somehow made commitment look like a design principle.
It leans into the myth of Berardi as much as the likeness: all defiance and confrontation, with the distinct sense that he would happily tackle straight through the edge of the frame given half a chance.
The print is available here.
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.
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.
