Diverse materials and finishes, colour-critical reproduction, short print runs, swift turnarounds, modest budgets, ambitious clients and high expectations… these are the challenges and demands of working in the Arts and Culture sector.
In collaboration with our ambitious clients, we continuously seek to produce new and exciting print and finishing solutions, delivering high quality and unique, award-winning projects / publications within tight budgets and to demanding schedules.
Winning us Print Finishing of the Year Award 2016, this yearbook showcased some of the best design in the country. A year-long programme, Irish Design 15 explored, promoted and celebrated the best of Irish design. To really show off the brilliant work inside, we worked with the design team to develop a technique to allow the book to be opened flat. Beautifully designed, it was bound with a sourced fluorescent orange thread and came in a case with a blue metallic foil. The logo was debossed into 2mm greyboard and mounted onto the covers.

Art Book for the artist’s collective “Stormy Petrel” – artists Alanna O’Kelly, Orla Ryan and Brian Hand.
This book formed part of their commission from the GPO Witness History public art commissions 2016 to coincide with the centenary commemoration of Ireland’s 1916 Rising.
The Client wanted a limited edition book of 500 copies whilst somehow retaining the distinctive feel of a one-of-a-kind artist’s book.This was achieved with a rotating accordion bind, broken up into 6 separate sections with the cover made from a single sheet of navy card. The reader is steered through the book, rotating it at the end of each section which is punctuated by the navy cover card. Reading the book becomes an interactive, physical process with twists and turns.
