The Cracked Looking Glass
Graphic design.
Taking my cues from the original dust jacket of Joyce’s Ulysses I designed the identity for the show to connect the historic and the contemporary.
The Limerick artist John Shinnors agreed to create the image of Joyce that I used across the material, an image of Joyce looking back at the viewer through a picture frame graphic that I created to represent the lookingglass.
The blue/green colouring of the original copy of Ulysses I used as the lead colours across all the supporting material. I designed the identity for the show, the posters and flyers, the catalogue, the website as well as press release material. I also designed the exhibition show space in Dublin Castle.
