I got this book when I was in first year of college, practical and full of useful advice. Great for someone who wants to learn a little more about the reality of design rather than theory. – Youssef

While working at EdenSpiekermann in Amsterdam, I was lucky enough to work along side of Erik Spiekermann; so I bought his book to learn more about him. Simple, thought provoking book. – Youssef

This website has been set up by two graphic designers based in Dublin, Ireland. It serves as a joint output of their thoughts, projects and feelings. They hope you find it useful and that by sharing their ideas and thoughts they can learn from one another and their readers.

IrishDesignDatabase.com – Ireland’s First and only Design Database

November 6th, 2009

As it currently stands, Irish Design has no form of unified representation. Irish Design practice is growing at an expeditious rate and with this we should take every measure to establish ourselves as major contributors to the international scene. I am a final year Visual Communications student at The National College of Art & Design. As part of my degree show I am planning to gather and develop an Irish Design Database. I hope that with the cooperation of Ireland’s design community together we can make this vision a reality. The database will include images of submitted work as well as related information involved in the creation of said piece. This is not a portfolio site but rather an online annual of top quality Irish Design work.

Life and drawing with Bobby Chiu

January 20th, 2009

Most illustrators and concept artists communicate their skills and methods on a technical basis. It seems apparent that their skills and techniques are based in a world of observation. Independent artist Bobby Chiu, would prefer to share his lessons in life as well as drawing. With Chiu, understanding his goals and ambitions as an artist enable us to connect to that very reason we are even holding a pen in the first place.
