BA Contemporary Visual Culture Lecturer Co-edits Campaign

Campaign: Journal of the Institute of Creative Advertising and Design Vol 3 No 12, edited by Mary Ann Bolger and Elaine McDevitt was launched in the Dean Hotel last month [http://www.icad.ie/the-big-reveal/]. The latest issue appears just 53 years after Vol 3 No 11 was published in 1963...

The journal is dedicated to publishing quality critique and reflection, both visual and verbal, on design and advertising of relevance to the Irish creative community. It is designed by Oran Day at Atelier David Smith [http://www.atelier.ie] and also features articles by DSCA lecturer Clare Bell and visiting lecturer Niall McCormack. 2016 graduate, Miriam Hunt who attended the launch, worked on Campaign as part of her second year placement with ICAD.  
You can read Mary Ann's essay about the history of the magazine here: http://www.icad.ie/campaigns-campaign/,
while herehttp://www.icad.ie/64-66-gardiner-street/  she tells the story of a remarkable coincidence in the design of the magazine.
