Poster for student fundraiser "Purity'

This is an A2 poster which I designed and photographed for a student fundraiser towards the printing of a yearbook for the 2011 graduating Visual communication students. I wanted to create a poster that was loaded with symbolism yet very evocative. All degree students and staff within the department produced a poster and a limited edition of each are to be sold.

The caption on the images reads:
pu•ri•ty noun
1 freedom from immorality, esp. of a sexual nature : white is meant to represent purity and innocence 2 shown is the celtic symbol for purity 3 the Masons wore as a lambskin apron as a “badge of innocence and purity”.

What happens when the publisher changes things!

This is what the published cover ended up looking like after the publisher 'House' style it!
And below is one of my design that was used as the basis, strange thing is I'm credited for the above design, even though it's really a version of my design!
The original photo was supplied by Tony as a very small contact print which I scanned and photo enhanced, removing some hand written text for this cover image. This was then supplied to ARC.

They also re-set the entire inside of the book, even though Tony and myself had spent a long time getting the typesetting perfect, what can one do?



And below is the cover that Tony wanted but they went with a copy of an early design I had done.

The Well in the Rain

The Well in the Rain by Tony Curtis, this cover I designed back in 2006.
It is available from Arc Publications both in hardback and soft back.
It's also my photo taken near Balbriggan, where Tony lives.

The Book of Winter Cures

Cover design, cover and inside, done in 2002 for my friend Tony Curtis.
