My chosen design is a tribute to the School of Music in Artane. Every musician that has passed through its doors for the last 100 years and more has helped contribute to creating one of Ireland's most recognisable and talented organisations for young people. Throughout the world, people recognise these talents through the iconic uniform worn by the school of musicians. Its bold timeless colours are synonymous with both Dublin and Ireland's deep heritage and will no doubt continue to enrich future events for many years to come
I am an Art and Design Teacher from Artane working at Beneavin College Finglas. I received my B.A. Hons in Art and Design Education and Graphic Design from NCAD. I create digital artwork for both myself and on a commission basis. I place a strong emphasis on digital art in my classroom and encourage my students to create artwork based on their passions. Being part of the Artane Band alumni I share a fond connection with this organisation and would be grateful if given the opportunity to pay homage to a place that gave so much to so many young creative minds.
