Identity / Print

Dublin City University
Brochure

Experience DCU is a publication which aims to showcase and promote Dublin City University’s strong, active links with academic, research and industry partners both at home and overseas.

Inspiration was drawn from the impressive sculpture that adorns the main entrance to DCU. The scheme was inspired by the Irish proverb ‘Ní neart go cur le chéile’ or ‘there is no strength without unity’. Each glu-lam post signifies the students and staff of DCU. The cover and spreads throughout accentuates this theme. The overall brochure is clean and accessible with a strong typographic emphasis. Printed full colour process on UPM Fine plus spot UV varnish on cover.

Shoots & Roots
Identity

Shoots & Roots are a wholesome vegan food company, trading out of some of Dublin’s best loved food markets. The brief was to design a logo that positioned them as a health conscious plant focused food company, that felt both vibrant and contemporary.

The core idea for the logo was quite literally and simply inspired from their name. The use of green reflects the ‘fresh’ and ‘organic’ plant produce that is sourced locally, while a perfectly neutral black strikes a crisp balance. Predige Rounded was chosen as the typeface - its personality is clear and practical, yet warm and polite, reflecting the brand personality. A collection of icons were created to visualise the core indregients used in their foods.

Brian Peoples
Identity

Brian Peoples is a Craniosacral Therapist. His design brief was to deliver a simple, modern and uncomplicated logo.

Craniosacral Therapy uses a light touch to mobilise restrictions in the connective tissues surrounding the brain and spinal cord. It is so gentle and slight that it is the best example of the so-called “subtle” therapies. I drew inspiration from this research and applied the same subtle thinking to the resulting monogram - the gentle combination of the “B” and “P”.
