CurrencyFair

One that got away. We recently did some pitch work for CurrencyFair. One of our routes was based around the idea of Fair/Unfair and the brief from the client was that they wanted to do something with cut through, something different.   Thanks to Robert McBride for his work on this project with me.  

Dalkey on Display – Visit Dublin

Living in Dublin you can sometimes forget how unique it is as a capital city. You can quickly move from the bustling city centre to the mountains and spectacular views. Or go the other way and arrive at the beautiful coast in no time at all. We were given the challenge of showcasing the proximityContinue reading “Dalkey on Display – Visit Dublin”

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 Open University – Hubble

To mark the 25th birthday of the Hubble telescope we joined forces with The Open University to celebrate some of the amazing images that Hubble has returned showing the distance depths of our galaxy. We created a series of postcards showcasing the further reaches of the Milky Way and beyond. This piece got picked upContinue reading “The Open University – Hubble”

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”

Pliable Me Video

As previously mentioned Bouts are big fans of music videos. They’re a great medium. Having produced our own videos for a long time we wanted to do something special for Pliable Me, one of the singles off our album. We wanted something to catch people’s attention and so we started looking around for people toContinue reading “Pliable Me Video”

Album Promotion Material

Self-releasing an album takes up a lot of time and also a good bit of money. However, it does also give you the freedom to do some interesting things and in the end it is very satisfying when you can say “Yeah, we did all that ourselves”. It also means that when that little bitContinue reading “Album Promotion Material”
