I think it’s about time to start showcasing some homegrown Irish talent. Studio AAD are a Dublin based studio and are pretty awesome. The design they did for the recent Dublin Dance Festival is quality!

Never Sleep

Well it’s nearly a year since we’ve left college and soon other graduates will be joining us in the real world. One book that I felt helped the transition (after 6 months unemployment of course) was How to be a  graphic designer without losing your soul. Another book I’ve been meaning to order to help with this process is Never Sleep. Written by design duo Andre Andreev & G. Dan from Dress Code, it details every aspect of their journey from college to the workplace.
