The Pink Dinosaur

What is the story with the pink dinosaur? An often asked question and a fair one so I will attempt to explain his creation. Earlier this year we were challenged with coming up with a creative concept for our class website which would later follow through to our printed materials based around our end ofContinue reading “The Pink Dinosaur”

Bouts Ads

In October Bouts were lucky enough to be invited to play the CMJ Festival in New York City as part of the Music From ireland showcase. CMJ is a massive events with thousands of artists making the trip over and hundreds of shows happening every day. We decided to make the most of the opportunityContinue reading “Bouts Ads”

Creme Egg

Cadbury’s Creme Egg campaigns are well known for their inventiveness and quirky style. We were charged with coming up with a new campaign for their launch this year. The brief asked for TV, print, outdoor and digital executions. Our campaign is based around the idea of “The Gooniverse”, an alternate universe inhabited by, and alsoContinue reading “Creme Egg”

Aviva Street to School Campaign

The Aviva Street to School initiative aims to provide assistance to children in Ireland and around the world who are living or working on the street. It is committed to helping them get back into education and offering them a chance to improve their chances of a better life. Our brief was to create aContinue reading “Aviva Street to School Campaign”

Supermac’s Campaign

For a recent college project we were given a relatively simple brief. Create a campaign for Supermac’s which distances them from the horse meat scandal and emphasises their homegrown quality and reminds consumers that all their burgers are 100% Irish beef. For our campaign we wanted to steer clear of mentioning the horse meat scandalContinue reading “Supermac’s Campaign”

Bouts Videos Pt. 1

All of the us are big fans of music videos. While they aren’t necessarily something that a lot of bands, particularly Irish bands, spend time on they are something that we value greatly. Our first few videos for We Tried, Barbs, Turn Away and Jittery were all self produced with the help of our talentedContinue reading “Bouts Videos Pt. 1”

Bouts

After the demise of Green Lights myself and Nigel (keys) set up another band with a fellow DCU graduate, Barry Bracken. We recorded an album, New Ways of Saying No, a few months later without ever playing a gig and then emigration struck again with Nigel departing for Canada. A few abandoned line ups laterContinue reading “Bouts”

Green Lights Music

Here is a link to our very old Myspace page. It’s probably covered in dust and cobwebs but the music is still there. We have a video up too, say hello to Megaphone Bowtie

Green Lights Final Show

For our final show Green Lights played Whelans upstairs venue. It turned out to be probably our best gig ever and the poster is one of my favourites too. The photo was taken by our keyboard player Nigel at a market somewhere. It’s random and it’s a bit busy and messy but that’s kind ofContinue reading “Green Lights Final Show”

Green Lights Comic Style Posters

While I was in college I was in a band with two of my housemates. Green Lights was a ramshackle kind of band. We didn’t have the best gear and we weren’t the greatest musicians but we had fun playing music and it was pretty loud. When I was designing posters I tried to comeContinue reading “Green Lights Comic Style Posters”

Building the Nighthawks Scene

At the end of my Undergrad in Multimedia we had to do a large group project of our own choosing. Together with four friends I decided to do a short, multi-strand film called Torpid. The film was an installation shown as a triptych across three screens that also allowed the user to choose the finalContinue reading “Building the Nighthawks Scene”
