'A Sporting Chance'
Casino Estate, Marino, Dublin 5
2018
Dublin City Council
I decided to utilise the various gaming traditions evident within a 400-metre radius of the Traffic Box, namely GAA motifs (St. Vincents and Parnell Park), gambling (Card Games, Dice, Backgammon motifs) at the Marino Casino, and Golf at Clontarf Golf Club. I used a scrolling design with colour repetition and patterns easily adapted to either new box shape. I have also included a city skyline and the Casino itself.
