Mission: using design to improve our road signs…
Garrett has been on a mission to improve design in Ireland. His recent research (on road signs) has led him to presenting at Leinster House, being exhibited in a national design exhibition, and making the news.
Garrett's design research work on Ireland's road signs is being exhibited at the Generations show in the Crafts Council's National Craft Gallery in Kilkenny, which for the first time shows the best of designers and makers selected by the IDI (Institute of Designers in Ireland) and the Crafts Council of Ireland. The exhibition runs until the end of January next 2010.Talking to the Oireachtas...

New brand designed by Rain
What’s On?
Rain design partners created the brand identity for the new Wexford Opera House, which opens its first opera production with Snegurochka, part of the 57th Wexford Festival Opera on 16 October.A multi-art-form performance centre
The house will be home to year round events and performances from a range of visiting artists ‑ offering different art forms. The identity and marketing strategy was designed to differentiate the Opera House from the famous festival's communications (also by Rain design).
Website and supporting material
We have designed a crisp, clean new website for Wexford Opera House, launched to coincide with the broadcast of the Late Late Show, the first event at the House. The design style supports and develops the brand identity and print communications of the new Opera House. We also designed and wrote brand guidelines for the use of the new Wexford Opera House brand identity. The style is bright, light and engaging ‑ setting the tone for future communications.About the house...
Wexford's €33m new Opera House has been developed on the site of the old Theatre Royal. The acoustic quality of the auditorium will be second to none in Ireland. It is already anticipated to collect numerous architectural awards.Brand mathematics

Ba-goose babywear
Branding is for babies
Labels for Ba‑goose Fashions new baby range suggest the shape of an egg (A cracking idea, or scrambled logic?). We devised the '100% huggable' tagline to communicate the product’s soft and fuzzy side.
Walk on…
It’s been years now since we created the original Ba-goose identity (and character design) and we are delighted to see it going from strength to strength.Cancer Tales Play
Programme for Cancer Tales by Nell Dunn
Improving communications around the ‘Big C’
We created an identity and designed communications for the Irish Premiere of Cancer Tales, a play by Nell Dunn. The play aims to tackle the issues faced by people whose lives are affected by any life limiting illness.
Making a production of it…
We created a logotype and identity for the production which brings across the stories, using images of some of the central characters (cast/production photos by Charlie McGeever).
Cancer Tales is a co‑production of Milford Care Centre, The University of Limerick and The Irish Hospice Foundation.
