NAME: Sharp Suits

AUTHOR: Mark and Paddy, a Dublin creative agency.

DESCRIPTION: A collection of A3 posters illustrates the worst clients feedbacks ever received by the Irish creative community. The illustrations point out the misunderstanding which can happen between a “suit” and a designer. The 72 prints were on sale during a exhibition in a Dublin cafe earlier this month to raise money for the Temple Street’s Children Hospital.

AMUSEMENT RATE: It must have been quite an exhilarating process for the designers, animators and directors involved in the project. They were finally able to blow off some steam through this “creative catharsis”. The posters are witty and hilarious, and showcase intelligently the energy and creativity of the Irish design community. Next time a client tells you a stupid comment, you know what to do!
