- May 18, 2018 Published on: 18 May 2018 ‘Michael Dwyer, Duncannon’ she said. The words seemed random particularly when we returned to the spot to find them and could not. These things happen in threes. I would love to say the parents pooch is well trained & does everything he’s told, though to his credit he’s a small dog who’s used to the lead. Recently on a walk on the Hook Peninsula near the Hook Lighthouse he found a plaque. The date suggests it may have been there since the noughties, though it’s not so weathered. The Peninsula can be a bleak spot for all its beauty. Messages from the past are abound. The rocks along the coast from Hook Head to Slade are host to an abundance of Fossils in the Limestone and a few human additions. This one is here a while. Virtually invisible. A glimpse. Familiarity of shapes in the stone. Symbols? Lettering? It warrants a second look. Not stone! Concrete, cast so long ago, it has taken the hue of its surrounds. One step, in another direction & you’ll miss it. Step away & it’s gone, until you come across it unawares again. Sometime ago the stone rolled off the wall taking the top of the commemorative cement lump with it. Where is it now? Tossed? Taken home by a curious tourist? In the soil beneath the sprouting crop? I like the artistry of this one. The lettering looks crafted. Should it read 24 . 5 . 71.? That looks like the curve of a 2 to the left of the 4? Along this coast there are a selection of graphic signs, the weathering of which I observe & record. Information on the area, warnings of weather, wild seas, blow holes, rocks and beware of the livestock. Each has it’s story. Some older than ...

- November 23, 2016 Published on: Nov 23, 2016 To the right is the contemporary sticker promoting Wexford’s assets. The identical Spires of the Twin Churches, Rowe Street & Bride Street are two of the defining structures of the Wexford Skyline. Below the entrance step of both churches is a dedication to the Very Reverend James Roche PP, who organised the funding for the building of the two churches, created from pebbles collected from Rosslare Strand around 1858. The name of individual who pebbled the lettering is not known. One consistent detail from both dedication is the heart over Wexford. The combination of the heart shape and its use within the heart metaphor developed at the end of the Middle Ages. With possible early examples or direct predecessors in the 13th to 14th century, the familiar symbol of the heart representing love developed in the 15th century becoming popular in Europe during the 16th century. The first known depiction of a heart as a symbol of romantic love dates to the 1250s. It occurs in a miniature decorating a capital ‘S’ in a manuscript of the French Roman de la poire Granted I’ve taken the Heart Wexford out of context & there is another heart at the beginning of the dedication. Though, I like to think, perhaps back in 1858 the author of these pieces held more than a casual fondness for the Town of Wexford.. Additional details in pebble: How many people have crossed the cobbles over the years & failed to notice the stone beneath their feet are more than texture preventing them from slipping at or in the front door of the church? . <3
- September 29, 2016 •• Published on: Sep 29, 2016 The brief was clear: John Ironside, Photographer wanted an identity that reflected the joy in the surprise of discovery of something special within the photographs he sold on his new product website. imageserendipity.com. Beauty in the detail. The best solution was a typographic approach. I looked briefly at a hand drawn solution. As I drew I recognised a typeface forming. Bodini originally designed by Giambattista Bodoni in the late eighteenth century, subtly evolving with technology while retaining it’s timeless qualities & readability. I rearranged the lettering in the manner of speaking the word, Ser en dip ity. Emphasising the various syllables. Grouping and altering the size of the letters to enhance the expression. An excersise in creating a visual sound. The alignment of the word image shouldn’t overshadow serendipity, yet needed to be readable. The logo designed a surprise touch of colour applied to the dot of the i in image and the logo was complete. The logo designed and colour applied the identity was required to work on & offline. A number of formats were required for output. A Red, Green, Blue (RGB) PNG (Portable Network Graphics) version to allow colour accuracy & that the image would have a transparent background where required online. Also an RGB JPEG version was made available for the web. For use on Business cards and commercial print products the image serendipity logotype was output as a CYMK (4 colour, Cyan, Yellow, Magenta & Black) outline EPS (Encapsulated Post Script). The logo was applied to Johns new website, Facebook, twitter and his various online presence. A set of business cards have been printed.
- August 26, 2016 • Published on: Aug 26, 2016 Meandering around Ireland I regularly find Typographic gems. I think the following examples show how modifying type to sit within a location can enhance the message it must express. Having photographed the Kilkieran and Ahenny High Cross’ followed by a quick visit to the Knockroe Passage Tomb on my return to Carrick-on-Suir, I passed through the the Victorian Slate Quarries near Ahenny Village, County Tipperary. Located to the South of Ahenny Village, slate was quarried from the 14th Century onwards. Stone from this site being used in the building of the Kells Priory in Kells, Ormonde Castle in Carrick on Suir and as far afield on the Palace of Westminster in London, England. In the 1990’s there was an annual festival known as the “Slate Quarries Festival”. In it’s first year a number of works of art were made entirely out of slate. The art work included the Miners Egg, The Weir, the Dinosaur and most notably, Noah’s arc which sat at the cliff edge over looking the lake. You can view some more pieces here at Nigel Borrington, Photographer’s slate-quarries-ahenny page. Typography in our environment. The majority of typography we see daily is almost invisible. Quietly and seamlessly good typography guides our eye around the text in a book, magazine, website most published material. As a means of communication, type is expressive beyond what the letters spell out.
- June 27, 2016 Published on: Jun 27, 2016 There are those moments when I sketch, mess around with pen and paper just because… I want to. On this occasion I decoded to create a simple animation. I did so using MoPho app on the iPhone. I emailed the result to my Mac. Then I dragged the giff to gifcreator.me similar to gifmaker.me (without ‘Flash’) where I changed to frame speed. I played with the size and could have edited the Animated gif further. Using a different browser I could have added music from You Tube in gifmaker.me. ‘Feel the fear & Do it anyway’ ~ Susan Jeffers So where do we start: Grab a notebook Braindump Prioritise Narrow it down Choose one thing Do that thing!

The Typeface used in this instance is my own ‘Cloister’. It reflects the elements of ‘Gothic Architecture’ I enjoy. An interesting aspect of my ‘Seanfochail Collection has been my recent discovery that a number of the inspirational lines I’ve collected over the years were ‘from the mouths of babes’. I’d collected them unattributed. “Stop wearing your wishbone where your backbone ought to be.” by Elizabeth Gilbert for example and quotes by Amelia Earhart, Ann Rand, Hellen Keller, Eleanor Roosevelt, Doris Lessing to name but a few that can be viewed here, here & here.

- February 25, 2016 Published on: Feb 25, 2016 Using colour when painting or drawing an image, White is the absence of colour while Black is a combination of all colours. However a Tv or computer screen creates colour from light. Just as when we hold a prism to or spray water in sunlight, we see rainbows. Red, Green & Blue are the primary colours. Each is a single colour. Red, Green & Blue must be combined in some manner to make the other colours. Web colors or hex colours are used in displaying web pages, and the methods for describing and specifying those colours. Colours may be specified as an RGB triplet or in hexadecimal format (a hex triplet). They may also be specified according to their common English names in some cases. A colour can be made by mixing Red, Green and Blue, so it is called the “RGB Colour System”. It is also called an “Additive” colour system, because it starts at black, and then colour is added. Basic Hexadecimal Notation: Hex numbers use 16 digits: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F the most intense being red, green, and blue. Double Zero, “00,” is equal to zero hue. FF is equal to a pure colour. The colour is defined by its mix of Red, Green and Blue, each of which can be in the range: 0 to 255 (in decimal) , or 00 to FF (in hexadecimal). Some common colours below: Color Decimal (Red, Green, Blue) Hexadecimal (#RRGGBB) Black (0, 0, 0) #000000 White (255, 255, 255) #FFFFFF * Red (255, 0, 0) #FF0000 Green (0, 255, 0) #00FF00 Blue (0, 0, 255) #0000FF Yellow (255, 255, 0) #FFFF00 Cyan (0, 255, 255) #00FFFF Magenta (255, 0, 255) #FF00FF * The Hex code of White is #FFFFFF Roses are #FF0000 Violets are #0000FF Just don’t forget, Grass is #00FF00, too Hexadecimal Colors A Quick Color Explanation Color Hex Color Codes Play with colours here: HTML Colors . . .

You’ve got to get out there and make it happen for yourself.” – Diana Ross “Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.” – Helen Keller “Our beliefs about ourselves are all made up.

- January 20, 2016 • Published on: Jan 20, 2016 The earth moves under your feet? Not at all it’s probably a recently made manhole cover. Coz they just don’t make ‘em like they used to. The former Borough Council recycled man hole covers around the Town of Wexford. Made of sterner stuff than their modern counterparts. Wear adds character as opposed to leading to deterioration through their surface. These covers will conceal the happenings beneath for hundreds of years to come if they’re allowed.

- October 6, 2015 •• Published on: Oct 6, 2015 I first noticed the emergence of the exclamation mark as a ‘take notice’ roadside sign 2010 I was heading for Tullow and had just taken the Bunclody road coming out of Enniscorthy. There was the lonely black ! on a yellow square sitting on it’s point, with black frame. There was no explanation for that exclamation! As time passed I noticed the ! temporally appear along the N11/ M50 road development works. From the car (as a passenger) I snapped a few examples (it’s an entertaining pastime capturing clear signage while in motion, not so much, through tinted windows.) Exclamations became more wide spread, approaching towns the ! indicated permanent cautions of regular hazards. ! is a good universal symbol to suggest pay attention without preaching/ chanting: danger danger. ! says pay attention, BeAware with a little humour.

- January 30, 2015 •• Published: Jan 30, 2015 Last February I replaced my Reform calligraph fountain pen with the LAMY logo matt black Fountain pen. I liked the modern styling. For the main part I like the nib, LAMY Fountain pen polished steel 1.1 nib. Personally I find it an excellent drawing replacement to the reform calligraph nib. In fact I find it writes/ draws on most papers, newsprint to watercolour and in-between. Even following a few days of non-use I pick the pen up & the ink flows as though I’d put it down moments earlier. This Christmas Santa left me, the slim Lamy ST fountain pen with a LAMY Fountain pen polished steel 1.1 nib. Lamy of Heidelberg in southwestern Germany is a producer of writing instruments. The company is German-owned, Josef Lamy, who was a sales representative for The Parker Pen Company in Germany, founded the business in 1930 by purchasing the Orthos pen manufacturer. Lamy was a pioneer in the use of moulded synthetic plastics, rather than hand-turned natural resins. to make their product. Lamy was run by Josef Lamy’s son, Manfred Lamy, until his retirement in 2006. He was succeeded by Bernhard M. Rösner. The Lamy ST fountain pen has a reasonably slim and cylindrical design, crisp clean modern lines. with a black ridged finger grip. Satin stainless steel cap and barrel with shiny chrome pocket clip printed with the Lamy logo. Supplied with a Lamy T10 ink cartridge and a Z26 converter for use with bottled ink. The Lamy st Fountain Pen is one of the designs created by Gerd A. Müller. Diameter: 9mm Length capped: 135mm Length posted: 161mm For my birthday I purchased the LAMY logo brushed Fountain pen. The LAMY logo brushed Fountain pen is the chubby sibling of the matt black logo pen. Designed by Lamy designer Wolfgang Fabian. The brushed finish and chrome covered plastic ends does nothing ...

- August 13, 2014 •• Published: Aug 13, 2014 Another type observation of the ‘Gill’ kind. Not only do I design type, design layout for books magazines and all sorts of material for print, I’m an avid reader. Looking back it’s odd to consider how close I came to barely acquiring the skill to read at all. As a small child, in senior infants, at primary school, during an eye test it was discovered that I couldn’t recognise letters. It transpired that in class I’d been memorising the other students reading out loud then reciting their words from memory as relevant to the page. Today I can’t imagine a world without reading. A world with out letters? Unthinkable! In any case ever since learning, I read almost anything. On occasion as an adult I’ve been known to purchase a book not for it’s content but beautiful layout and use of type. A penchant that has not yet lead to any truly questionable content on my shelves. Back to ‘Gill’ recently while reading ‘An essay on TYPOGRAPHY by Eric Gill. His ledgibility point was well made. I will admit the paperback Penguin Classic cover design alone would have made this a worthy purchase. As I read I don’t want to break the spine. I open the book enough to expose the text read one page then move the book to read the copy on the other. As I do so I recognise the illustration text above the copy appears to read, with out really looking ‘A DEMON WHO LIES ON THE DEAD’. I’ll examine the illustrations after I read the copy. Continuing my reading on the second page my brain notes a discrepancy with the second illustration. I’ve read it is an alternative type face. My brain registers this illustration as ‘A DEMON WHO LIVES ON THE DEAD’. Unconscious Note to self, ‘that is ...

- February 5, 2014 •• Published: Feb 5, 2014 Recently I decided to replace my trusty drawing ink pen, a Reform calligraph with 0.9 italic nib. I had memories of a selection of still used Parker pens from my youth and a vague recollection they weren’t my first. Somewhere around Second class, our primary school teacher decided her students needed to learn to write correctly (Ok! neatly, legibly). The start of year book list stated we needed a fountain pen and where we could get one. Good old SOS (School and Office Supplies). My first fountain pen was a 1970’s Platignum school pen with a Platignum 41 ST Medium nib. Bright yellow clearly I had a sunnier disposition as a child. The pen had a black cylinder shaped lid that posted neatly on the narrow end of the pen. The twist/ screw end out. Despite owning a number of other fountain pens this scratcher came to college too. Going into retirement only after the lid rolled off the desk into a crack between the floorboards at LSAD during my foundation year of college. By which time ‘rotring‘ brought out a selection of artists fountain pens. The pen featured below, houses a relatively unused 2.3 italic nib (you can probably tell by it’s less than scratched nib, that’s not rust it is sepia brown ink residue). It used a small cartridge though the body could hold a spare cartridge back to back with the one being used. A rotring ink converter is also available. I use an Osmiroid converter in mine. I still use the EF rotring pen for taking notes by the computer. Due to transportation issues, it doesn’t travel well. Four years at the Limerick School of Art & Design and two more at the London College of print, I’d gathered a selection of inexpensive fountain pens and drawing dip ...
- November 26, 2013 •• Published: Nov 26, 2013 When I set out to spread news of my new address I made a startling discovery, a lot of people do not know how to find the fada on their keyboard. The fada denotes long vowels in the irish language and appears regularly in names and the Irish language in the general. There are many ways to find the fada on a key board. I’ll list the simplest here and give a link to the scriobh.ie website for other methods. Indeed! I was rather naughty, I borrowed freely from the scriobh site, do check it out too. On the Mac There are two ways: Designate the keyboard as Irish / Gaeilge. To write a síneadh fada, just press the normal vowel key while the ALT is selected, and that’s it. If you have not selected an Irish keyboard: To obtain the fada, one needs to select the Optionkey at the same time as the key e, followed by the vowel that needs the fada. For example: selecting Option together with e, and then the letter a = á … and so on with the other vowels. If you need a capital letter with a fada, follow the same sequence along with pressing the Shiftkey. For example: selecting Option together with e, and then Shift together with a = Á … and so on with the other vowels In Windows You can put a fada on a vowel (a, o, u, i, agus e) by pressing the key “Alt Gr”, and keeping it pressed, before and while the appropriate key is pressed for the vowel. An á, ó, ú, í and é will be obtained in those cases. If capital letters are required, one must press Alt Gr at the same time as the Shift key, and keep them pressed while then selecting the appropriate vowel. An Á, Ó, Ú, Í and É is obtained in these cases. There are other ways too, but the above mentioned technique is the most easy. It is possible, from within MS Word, for example, to select Insert from the menu, and then Symbol to place any character from a broad range, including vowels with a fada. In OpenOffice Writer, you need to select Insert and Special Character to acheive ...

Of course they were roped into the house move. While down they were looking at cars one potential purchase was located at the Nissan — Wexford Car Centre at Ardcavan, Wexford.

- June 5, 2013 •• Published: Jun 5, 2013 The audio equivalent of Lynn Truss’ Eats, Shoots & Leaves book The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation. I found this poem through the visual medium of kenetic type. The sepia tones appeal to my sense of aesthetic. I like it a lot. Some of the sights I most enjoy in typographic animation is in getting lost in the counters and shapes between the letters as they move. Typography by Ronnie Bruce Uploaded Tuesday, March 24, 2009 Typography Animation Poem by (TaylorMali.com) Totally like whatever, you know? by Taylor Mali In case you hadn’t realised, it has somehow become uncool to sound like you know what you’re talking about? Or believe strongly in what you’re, like saying? Invisible question marks and parenthetical (you know?)’s & (Ya know what I’m saying)’s have been attaching themselves to the ends of our sentences? Even when those sentences aren’t, like, questions? . Declarative sentences—so-‐called because they used to, like you know, DECLARE things to be true, okay, as opposed to other things are, like, totally, you know, not— They’ve been infected by this tragically cool and totally hip interrogative tone? As if I’m saying , don’t think I’m a nerd just cause I’ve noticed this; this is just like the word on the street, you know? I have nothing personally invested in my own opinions.

Have they been, like, chopped down with the rest of the rain forest? Ya know? Or do we have, like, nothing to say? . Has society just become so filled with these conflicting feelings of nehh!

People retire and the next generation take over. To day they deal in antiques, curiosities, a bit of tech and then some. When at the Bull ring you can’t miss it. I enjoy the typographic crazy exhibited in the window and the occasional visual gem.

The typeface, Ravenna; The Evil Queen (the stepmother) • The design and exploration for the titles and the main film title at the beginning of the movie concluded in creating a custom typeface (& font*) for Snowwhite & the Huntsman. The intention to capture the classic feel of the films setting while at the same time boasting a contemporary and sharp look. Creative Director Henry Hobson developed the completely customized typeface. The new typeface was named Ravenna after a character in the film – the Evil Queen. It is bold and dramatic, yet subdued to match the multifaceted character and her intriguing steadfast ways. “The brief was to get a feminine font with a hard edge. Having played around with existing typeface, the design team found that Bodoni had a really nice feel to it, a stylish vibe and some nice detail. But even then it was distinctly ...

I exhibit under the name 2Dr. There are two prominent Ds in my name: I generally work on and with 2 Dimensional media. . As a designer when creating an identity I develop lettering unique to the business, organisation or individual I work for. I scan the finished concepts into the Macintosh computer, redrawing the letters. The computer calculates the font, in turn translating data to the typeface. which allows me to work with it both on screen and later as printed material . . In these pieces I explore the inter-letter spaces: shapes made by overlapping letters or their proximity to one another. I investigate colour contrasts, compliments and blends. My design manipulates the layout to effectively portray the essence of the proverbs, seanfocail, sayings and wise words, I have collected since childhood. . I have exhibited annually since 2004. this year some of my work can be seen at the Raven Art 2010 exhibition at the Only Natural too premises, 1 Church Lane, Wexford. the Lane beside St Iberius church, in the Super Value car park (L&N).

- September 8, 2010 It’s no secret I’m a major fan of animation from Disney, Manga, Dreamworks to more obscure studios. Indeed at one stage in my creative education I contemplated becoming an animator. Animation has taken strides from drawing & painting cells and stop motion to ‘Flash’ and equally versatile animation program suites. Below you’ll find some more examples of typographic animation.

The game was released in a bundle package called The Orange Box for Microsoft Windows and Xbox 360 on October 9, 2007 and for the PlayStation 3 on December 11, 2007. Portal has been acclaimed as one of the most original games in 2007 despite being comparatively short in length. The game has received praise for its unique game play and darkly humorous story.

- July 31, 2009 ”Imaginary Forces fourth collaboration with director McG, we take you to the futuristic world of Terminator Salvation. The main titles for the film harken back to the original Terminator titles but with modern sensibilities. The heavy typography weaves in and out revealing the title, underscored by the unforgettable Terminator theme” TheConciseStatement “Opening credits to The Terminator (1984), James Cameron’s iconic nightmarish sci-fi action thriller, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton and Michael Biehn. Here, two sets of transparent letters, initially appearing too close to make out, pass each other and eventually form the title. The credits come in the form of text typed out on a computer screen, the square cursor being a recogniseable 80s hallmark. Along with both these fonts, composer Brad Fiedel completes the technological throughline, with his electronic score, of which this signature theme connotates the clanking metal of the Terminator itself.”
