Cadbury Poster at Pearse Station

This was a photo I took at Pearse Street train station (Dublin) on the way home from a trip out to Blackrock which I posted photographs of last week. I think that was the one nice day we’ve had since the start of summer. Anyhoo! It’s of a vintage Cadbury print advertising their chocolate. There’s always a lot of construction work going on in the station. I’d never seen this before so I think it must be something they’ve uncovered as they were doing work but it’s probably been visible a long time now.

I’d love to know how old the poster itself is. I think it should be in a museum because even though the station is sheltered, it’s quite exposed. Then you know you would get a some information on it too like what way it was printed etc. I tried to compare it to other Cadbury posters on this great Cadbury timeline to get a rough idea but I’m not sure, early to mid 1900s anyway!

G2 Business Card

This was a business card I designed for my sister as part of an entrepreneurial project she had in school. I slightly tweaked it but you get the picture. I went for a dainty vintage feel withe the daisy motifs, polka dot pattern and fonts.

Due to the brevity of the project, I didn’t have to create any other print materials. Although it might have been nice to see a logo and stationery suite develop. The headline font is called Grumpy Black and I got it free in a graphic design magazine as part of a retro set of fonts.
