DesignFest 2016
I got lots of compliments on promotional material I produced for DesignFest in November 2016 – logo, flyer, poster and large banner. This event was promoted by Tipperary County Council, Tipperary Enterprise Board, Limerick Institute of Technology and the Arts Council.
Lafferty: World Cards Intelligence
On an ongoing basis, I edit these country reports on card markets for Lafferty Group.
DesignFest 2016
I was delighted to work with the DesignFest team to produce this year’s logo and all promotional material. What a buzz. What a stimulating festival it was! I am amused that ‘design thinking’ did not cross my agenda until July 2016 and now I see it everywhere. Design thinking is the new way to innovate! A great line-up of speaker and events. Design is the way to distinguish yourself and your ideas or products…. a way also to promote social change (as illustrated by the “Repeal” sweatshirt campaign. And what great training in design is on offer on the LIT Campus in Clonmel!
The value of proofreading
Client thanks me for spotting misaligned text. 'How did I not see that? I would have had to reprint!' Yes, that's what proofreaders do.

Editing or translating?
Sometimes my work as editor equates to translation! What exactly did the writer mean, and how can I put it more simply? #plainlanguage

Changing attitudes
As an editor, I often have to dispel the myth that plain language is dumbing down; it is about clarifying the message.
