When I've time, I occasionally do some acrylic on canvas illustrations.
Kal, my 3 year old son is my only fan!

Work Sample 5
Crafts Council of Ireland - Strategic Plan
The brief for this project was to produce a typographic ‘tome’ but also required the inclusion of strong imagery which was to be impactful but not distracting from the overall body text. This design challenge was addressed through the use of dramatic fold out pages which consisted of full bleed imagery and this element also functioned as section/chapter dividers. I also aimed to communicate the tactility of the crafts represented by the council and achieved this (hopefully!) primarily through the inclusion of the embossed basket on the front cover and by printing onto uncoated stock. Typographic devices were used as chapter indicators and typographic emphasis was further exploited in the strong use of ‘pull out’ text throughout. Without doubt though one of my most stressful projects ever... the printing cost were huge and the buck stopped with me if there had been any problems... phew!
Work Sample 3
Technology Subjects Support Service - T4
Design of an identity, promotional collateral and website for the above educational support service (some of you may be familiar with!). It involved the design of a primary logo, which also needed to include adaptation across the four sub category subjects. This was resolved as colourway differentiations and individual image generation for each. The identity was then brought across stationery, a promo folder, launch invite, and the support service website. (the web design was not done by me... techno novice here - left that to my other half!)
Work Sample 2
Shine - Retail Jewelery Identity
This project required the naming, and brand development for a new jewelery retail outlet and included all printed elements (business card, letterhead, gift vouchers) along with the external signage for the shop itself. The job was restricted to 2 colour output and 3 on the voucher where I included a metallic silver to add a luxurious touch and enhance the communication of the piece overall. The signage featured underlit steel letterforms to carry this element through externally.
