Ballywire Media are digital content specialists, their unique and syndicated video news is delivered daily to Ireland’s leading web destinations. Having recently undergone a rebranding exercise, the company specifically sought a freelance graphic designer to “pick up the baton” and take the new look Ballywire forward.
Having successfully offered three different design concepts, my ‘grunge’ style was enthusiastically selected as “the way to go!”
With Ballywire being at the forefront of Ireland’s digital media provision service, their corporate style will develop and embrace the vibrancy of the social media community, continually evolving to stay ahead of the crowd.
As a designer, it’s great to have such an exciting and open creative brief. Love it :))

This is an advertisement I produced for the first issue of Coast & Country Magazine. Now, I can’t claim it to be “my” design work as I have only put the artwork together to specific guidelines. I just wanted to acknowledge here the importance of creating design guidelines for other designers to follow. Along with the required copy and images from the client came a website link to corporate guidelines created by Wowme! Design in the UK.
Following the excellent guidelines and using the attached graphic files, I was quickly able to create an advertisement that not only was 100% true to their corporate style, but looked fantastic in the magazine too :))
Client Skibbereen Tool Hire
Description Newspaper Advertising
Year 2004 – present
My Work Concept, Design, Artwork, Advertisement Copy
When first taking on this project, my initial thoughts and concepts lead to playing with double entendres and a laddish sense of humour. Thankfully the client warmed to the idea immediately and the boundaries of taste have been pushed ever since… much to the disdain of the client’s mother! :))
Client Punch
Description Brand Relaunch Advertising
Year 2006
My Work Design, Artwork
As with many products, they are often launched without the physical items available to photograph. In this instance, I was asked to create all products in the new Punch range and then incorporate these computer generated images into all of their advertising.
Client Esat
Description Enhanced Telephone Directory Advertising
Year 1999
My Work Concept, Design, Advertisement Copy
This was a concept for an enhanced telephone directory service on behalf of Esat. 11880 was intended to be the only number you needed to know if you wanted to find out just about anything – quickly! So I developed a concept that revolved around the number and tagline of “1-1-8-8-0 All you need to know”.
This business concept has since been taken on by other companies with their 11811 and 11850 numbers now widely in use.
