Big thanks to and for my bespoke 2021 edition of the  calender.

See the previous post in my feed if you’re interested in checking out my design submission for 17 January.
—
The book is a stunning piece of print and I’m chuffed to be a part of the calendar for a second year running. Each book is entirely unique, from cover to cover. No two copies are the same. Each participating creative produced a numeric design from 1–31 and every book is a programmatic calendar compilation from the overall pool of submissions. As a result, there was no limit on the number of creatives who took part — just shy of 1,000 designs were included.

My submission to the 2021 edition of the  calender.

This response for 17th January was informed by the designated seed word ‘air’. Continuing the ‘sky’ theme from my submission last year, I visualised the figures as a cloud: a visible accumulation of minute droplets of water, ice crystals — or both — suspended in the air.

The book is a stunning piece of print and I’m chuffed to be a part of the calendar for a second year running. Thanks to / for organising and designing such a great project.

Good Riddance.

I designed this poster back in 2018 in response to a brief for a global collaborative project against the hate promoted by Trump. My poster encapsulates the now-former President’s essence as a sad, embarrassed clown — which funnily enough, is how he now leaves office in 2021.

The independent, non-profit project invited a single creative from each nation involved. The brief required a visual response that included a simple message: LOVE ALWAYS WINS. I was invited to represent Ireland alongside creatives from 159 other nations. The project generated a collective output of 160 unique pieces with a single unified message.

A Kickstarter project was launched ahead of the 2020 elections in order to help the anti-Trump campaign reach the streets of the United States. The project was successfully funded, allowing posters to be printed and hung guerilla-style across major cities in the US such as New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston and Washington.

Rest in peace to ‘The Finest’. 1971–2020.

was a massive creative influence during my formative years, the likes of which will never be experienced again.

As the life cycle goes on (goes on)
And you learn to hold on (hold on)
To things like the mic (the mic)
And you learn to appreciate who is the nicest, on said device
But who is (The Finest)

Time to log off for 2020 and see out the end of this strange year. Happy Christmas and best wishes to friends, colleagues and clients. Here’s to a less smelly 2021 and don’t forget — ’Tis the Season to be Careful.

Chuffed to be shortlisted as a finalist for the Awards 2020!

I’d like to thank my client for their faith in my creativity and collaborative approach to the projects we’ve worked on together to date. The feedback on the Faction identity and shop design has always been positive but we’re excited and humbled to be recognised by the Institute of Designers in Ireland, alongside such talented creatives and excellent merchants.

Congratulations to everyone included on this year’s shortlist and best of luck to you all at the virtual awards tomorrow evening!

I was commissioned by in 2019 to design the visual identity of their new barbershop. The outlined design brief was to give Faction complete visual distinction within the national barbering marketplace while communicating their core values and methodologies. This was achieved by working with the founders to build the brand ethos of ‘Clean but Cut’, which reflects the barber’s surgical attention to detail and experimental approach to cutting hair.

The brand ethos informed the look-and-feel at all touchpoints, represented by truncated typographic form. The visual language was extended into the shop’s physical space by using the edges of material objects to cut the letterforms.

It was a great experience working with the founders and in realising the Faction Barbershop brand values, ethos and visual identity.
