In 2023, Fire Station Artists' Studios wanted to create a yearbook showcasing the highlights of the year, from awards and residencies, to the facilities, workshops and cultural events. The publication was available in various cultural spaces around Dublin, so we wanted to create something that would stand out amongst all the other printed literature, to not just mark the year but really shout about it. This is evident through the physical size of the piece, the large type and the use of the three primary colours of red, yellow and blue. The type itself was created from letterpress type specimens with each heading being carefully arranged while still allowing for the slight imperfections of the human hand.
