Visual Communication

Clodagh Wilson

I’m Clodagh, a multi-disciplinary designer based in Dublin. My approach to design is hands-on and experimental, where the process is just as important to me as the final outcome. I believe that design is a journey of discovery, where each project presents an opportunity to explore new ideas and techniques. I’m driven by a desire to create work that not only solves problems but also engages and challenges the viewer. My design practice is rooted in a personal connection to every brief, and I enjoy finding ways to inject meaning and purpose into my projects. Whether it’s through typography, layout, or visual storytelling, I aim to produce work that resonates on a deeper level, sparking thought and conversation. For me, design is not just a craft, it’s a way to communicate, question, and push boundaries.

Sacred and Secular

This project explores the intersection of religious rituals and secular practices, with a particular focus on the role of the GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association) in modern Irish life. Drawing from my personal experience growing up within the Catholic faith and transitioning to the rituals of sport, this project questions how traditional religious practices have been replaced or transformed into new rituals, especially in the context of team sports like Gaelic football. The project delves into how the communal aspects of sport, prayer, rituals, collective consciousness, and local identity, mirror those of religious ceremonies, offering a unique space for belonging, identity, and personal reflection. Through an investigation of Catholicism, GAA culture, and secular rituals, Sacred and Secular aims to uncover the subtle but powerful ways in which religious traditions continue to influence contemporary practices, even as they evolve into new forms. 

The Game Remains

This project is a typographic publication exploring the cultural and social legacy of Gaelic games in rural Ireland, with a focus on community identity, resilience, and intergenerational connection. Rooted in personal experience and supported by interviews, archival imagery, and research, the project questions how success is measured in GAA clubs, beyond silverware and attendance. It highlights how, even in the face of depopulation, limited resources, and amateur status, local clubs continue to thrive as vital spaces of belonging. Through carefully considered typography, material choices, and storytelling, The Game Remains reflects on the enduring role of the GAA in shaping Irish life.
