Brockdin back from Ireland

Catchlight founder Brockdin Barr has returned to the sweet smelling air of New Zealand after a successful working holiday in Dublin, Ireland. The goal of the trip was to experience new ways of working and absorb European design influences. Included among these experiences was the chance to work at Dublin’s four5one Creative. four5one’s Art Director, Steve Avrill has directed the artwork for U2 from the band’s inception. Today, four5one continues to work with the band as well as a host of hi-end corporate clients and a further host of entertainment acts such as Elvis Costello, Sting, and Tom Jones. At four5one, Brockdin took the opportunity to interview Steve - Read this Interview in Issue 7 of espy Magazine or online here.

Whilst in Ireland Brockdin built website’s for clients WestGlobal Ireland, AEP Systems,  CITC College, The Restaurants Association of Ireland and also contributed to the website for the Dublin City Council’s Port Tunnel Project. Brockdin also won a local design competition held by Tower Interactive Media to redesign the look and feel of their website - this design will be employed by Tower in future.
