Case Study: Foras na Gaeilge Design Partnership
Since 2021, Pixelpod has proudly served as the strategic graphic design partner for Foras na Gaeilge. We have collaborated on diverse branding projects, high-impact public campaigns, and complex corporate publications. Our work requires balancing existing brand guidelines with fresh creative concepts. We manage multiple stakeholders, handle bilingual requirements, and coordinate seamlessly with external media agencies, web developers, and print suppliers. This partnership demonstrates our capacity, capability, and creativity to deliver high-quality assets for multiple departments simultaneously on time and within budget.
Project Example: Creidim Ionat Campaign
Brief
Design a flexible brand identity for a nationwide campaign encouraging everyday Irish language use. The visuals needed to look inviting to a diverse audience and adapt seamlessly across print, web, video, and promotional merchandise.
Solution
Conducted a thorough brand consultation to develop a vibrant, welcoming color scheme. The final logo subtly integrates a nod to traditional Irish script, creating a highly versatile asset suite that performs exceptionally well across both digital and physical touchpoints.
Project Example: An Scéim Meantóireachta
Brief
Partner with Foras na Gaeilge and Lorg Media to create a distinctive Instagram campaign promoting a writer mentorship program. The assets required a unique visual identity that stood out from standard feed content, while needing intuitive Canva templates so the internal team could easily swap photos for 39 distinct participants.
Solution
We developed three initial concepts, finalizing a system of nine highly visual Canva templates using a striking palette of blues, greys, yellows, and reds. By layering dynamic graphic shapes over coloured squares and participant imagery, we delivered a cohesive, easily editable system that maintained brand consistency and ensuring social engagement.
Project Example: Bilingual Annual Reports
Brief
Design comprehensive, engaging annual reports for Foras na Gaeilge and the Ulster-Scots Agency. These extensive publications average 400 pages and demand precise layout formatting for intricate, bilingual financial data across both web and print editions.
Brief
We successfully delivered three consecutive annual reports, with production currently underway for the 2024 edition. We established a clean typographic hierarchy that ensures complete readability for complex data while maintaining a professional, visually engaging narrative structure throughout the massive page count.
