Project 2: Lighthouses of Ireland

This project is about the great lighthouses of Ireland. It is an editorial brief with a series of collectable books about lighthouses. The aim was after investigating Hook Head Lighthouse, Poolbeg and St. John’s lighthouse to design a conventional editorial piece, a series of books about Great Lighthouses of Ireland. Reflecting on the history and the characteristics of the lighthouses by applying expressive and interpretive typography. The book layout design based on the interesting stories about lighthouse keepers, shipwrecks around the area and navigation in modern and in the old time. My aim was to bring together in one place all the strands of the stories of each of the lighthouses in Ireland to establish their significance and reflecting on the history and the characteristics of the lighthouses.
