This event showcases the best Irish and international comedy acts over 3 days and has long been one of the entertainment highlights of the summer in the city.

UCD Outdoor
I recently worked as part of a small team on a pitch for UCD. The brief was to come up with a campaign using water as the main theme. I worked on three outdoor executions using a minimalist illustrated style. Our idea was to strip everything back and using the expanse of space to createContinue reading “UCD Outdoor”
Bouts – Unlearn EP
After writing, recording, releasing and touring Nothing Good Gets Away we were pretty burnt out. We took a bit of time away from Bouts but after a few months we got back together to decide what to do next. We concluded that we wanted to write some more tunes but this time we wanted toContinue reading “Bouts – Unlearn EP”
Freddy Fyffes Packaging
Freddy Fyffes is the face of Fyffes snack sized bananas. These come in packs of 7 and are perfect for children’s lunchboxes. Freddy has been around for years and years but recently we were asked to come up with a new design for Freddy (I’ll do a separate post on that) and also a newContinue reading “Freddy Fyffes Packaging”
The Doyle Collection – Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day inspires a lot of work every year. For our Washington piece we wanted to highlight some cheap romantic spots in the city and produce a map. We realised that the Potomac river offered us a great opportunity to frame our map in a heart shape and the roads and tributaries could be madeContinue reading “The Doyle Collection – Valentine’s Day”
The Doyle Collection – Chinese New Year
This year is the Chinese Year of The Ram/Sheep/Goat. Nobody can seem to decide which it definitely is. But to celebrate we produced a piece showing all of the Chinese star signs and their characteristics. Take a look and find out what other animals you’re matched with, what your lucky number is and which career to pursue.Continue reading “The Doyle Collection – Chinese New Year”
The Doyle Collection – Sherlock Holmes
For over 100 years the character Sherlock Holmes has captured imaginations all over the world. To celebrate The Bloomsbury Hotel’s Sherlock Holmes themed package in London we designed a timeline showing some of the ways Sherlock Holmes has found his way into popular culture. Thanks to Maeve Heslin and Chris Flynn who worked with me on this piece.
The Doyle Collection – Comedic Counterpoint
As part of an ongoing content series for The Doyle Collection we were asked to highlight a comedy festival that was taking place in Bristol. Rather than produce a simple article or guide we decided to design a short quiz to help you find out who your comedic counterpart is. Thanks to Maeve Heslin andContinue reading “The Doyle Collection – Comedic Counterpoint”
Fáilte – The Journey
Dublin is one of the lucky capital cities that can boast a thriving urban environment and a scenic bay and coastline. As part of the ongoing Fáilte project we were asked to produce a series of work, under the working title of The Living Bay, that would highlight this connection to the sea and showContinue reading “Fáilte – The Journey”
Fáilte – Bram Stoker Festival
Each October Dublin plays host to The Bram Stoker Festival celebrating the godfather of Gothic literature and his most famous creation, Dracula. Over three days lots of creepy, spooky events take place all over the city and Dublin showcases its Gothic spirit. To promote the event we came up with a piece to showcase Dublin’sContinue reading “Fáilte – Bram Stoker Festival”
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”
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”
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”
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”
