It was great to see the inspiring and interesting work on show at Offset this year and hear the tips and advice from other creatives from all around the world.

Some highlights for me included:

The humourous Volvo ads that Forsman & Bodenfors created, featuring Jean Claude Van Damme:

I loved the entertaining presentation from Dublin advertising Boys and Girls.

And the enthusiasm and back to basics hand-craft approach from agencies such as as Hey Studio, a young and fun agency from Barcelona:

And some motivational words of advice from some other designers who even got to a point where they needed a break from design and tried something new for a while, only for it to lead on to a new and interesting direction in their design career such as Irish designer Sue Murphy and also Annie Atkins, who designed all collateral for the film ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’.

Overall, it was an extremely entertaining and inspiring event – keep up the good work Offset Dublin!
