2008 Caoimhín Vallely asked me whether I'd be interested to do a poster for the piping festival. This coincided with my getting frustrated with the entirely virtual nature of my work: websites and digital photographs. Going into print meant I had to learn quite a few new things, in which Jeremy Trimble turned out to be a great help, but it also meant I could finally touch and feel the results of my work. It's very satisfying to see boxes filled with leaflets or stickers that were made by you, printed off in their thousands...
After that poster more posters followed. And leaflets. And programmes, CDs, stickers, tickets, t-shirts and much more. All printed very professionally by Trimprint, Armagh. Below are a few samples of what I've done so far.
As I don't know where else to put it, I'll also mention the multimedia presentation here. It's a twenty minute presentation that highlights the diversity of the bagpipes in image and sound. Entirely made in Flash, exported as a movie and there's even a DVD... Very proud of that one.
Junctions

Digipak 'Ceol is Píob'
For Tiarnán Ó Duinnchinn and Stephanie Makem I did the design for their album, launch invitations and posters.
William Kennedy Piping Festival
Boris was born in 2009 and he now features in most publications I do for the festival, especially the sticker is very popular. He originally comes from an old communist poster, pointing towards a brighter future, and I stuck a set of pipes in his hand.
Armagh Athletics Club
For a number of years I've been doing the leaflet/entry form for the International Road Race, organized by the Armagh Athletics Club. I've also done some maps for the mountain runs, tickets and vouchers.
Digipak 'Armagh Pipers Club - 40th Anniversary Album'
My first Digipak, and a double CD at that, with a booklet even! Great fun going through the club's photo archive. The wonderful world of internet: these CDs were manufactured in Austria, by Sony DADC. A very educational experience, to work with such a professional partner.
