About this project
Gorey town was due to celebrate a very special anniversary – 400 years since the town’s charter in 1620.
It was a very proud year for the town and important to produce a book that would be accessible to all types of readers, from school children to avid historians.
It would also need to have a high quality, durable, luxury feel in order to entice people to delve inside and keep this book to pass on through the generations.
This project requires working closely with the editor to draw the wide and varied elements of this book together, while keeping to the initial vision.
A project like this can be challenging with so many contributors involved. My role was to help unify the elements for this beautiful book.
