Dog not only chases cat, dog subjects cat to strange and unusual experiments. Dog inflates cat like a balloon. Dog threatens to deflate inflated cat with a pin. Not to worry, though, dog's mad-scientist pursuit of cat, in this case, is all in the name of boosting environmental awareness.
Be honest, how many primary school...
And what about a penguin ... can it fly? The answer to both those questions: a qualified yes.
Hippos can indeed swim, although they prefer to walk or run instead along the silty bottoms of the rivers and lakes in their central African habitat. And while you might think penguins swim, they technically fly under water. The...
Sometimes a company's most important point of contact with its customers is the one most easily overlooked, something as mundane and functional as an invoice, an account statement or a despatch notice.
Think about it, though. Who really enjoys getting an invoice? Worse yet, who enjoys getting an invoice that is hard to decipher...
Good tools in the right hands are truly a thing of real beauty and power – this applies to skilled lawyers as much as it does skilled cabinetmakers.
A lawyer's tools are words, both written and spoken, and the sometimes highly complex concepts, structures and arguments they build with them. Like the good cabinetmaker, the...

The Centre for Design Innovation considers design as a process, not outcome. It studies the integration of design thinking in the development of products and services in the public and private sector. It looks at how design, creativity and innovation can improve the world around us, asking all of us to play with the question 'What...
With the promotional material we developed for the Offaly Artisan Food Group and the Offaly Craft Group we had to negotiate a tricky line between the individual and the collective. We had to find the right tone of text, the right balance of image and layout that would allow the personality of each individual to come through...
Sara and Philip Moss, the couple behind Filligans, make high quality, artisan jams, chutneys and sauces. The hands-on business is an expression of who they are - we wanted the design of their product labels and packaging to reflect this. The Filligans lettering is from Philip; the butterfly expresses the family's interest in the...
At its best, cinema opens up other worlds, real or imagined. Like a magic box on eighteen wheels, Cinema Northwest transports those worlds to the most remote corners of rural Ireland, allowing the icons of the silver screen to rub shoulders with the icons of the Irish landscape. We dug deep in the recesses of our film buff...
Even design classics can do with the occasional nip and tuck. The visual identity we created for Meath is no exception. After a decade in service, the Meath logotype still looked fresh as a daisy, firmly embedding the ‘Celtic Swirl’ in the public imagination as the calling card of the Royal County. When a few other...
Ever since its days as the Regional Technical College, the Letterkenny Institute of Technology has played an enormous role in the economic and social life of Ireland’s Northwest.
