About me

My name is Rachel Clancy I'm an Art Director/Graphic Designer from Limerick, Ireland. I've worked in the design field at every level, from a screen printing workshop in California, to a branding and design studio in Newcastle, to a full service advertising agency in Boston. And I've loved every bit. Right now I am looking for my next adventure.

  Receive MusicReceive Music is a book which presents the subject of music through a visual language inspired by different faiths. The book discusses music in relation to religious concepts such as communion, meditation, and spirit. The artwork is based on the rose window/mandala motif common to both eastern and western faiths and evolves throughout the piece to incorporate the devices we use to listen/receive music.

  TVNext HackedThe 2015 theme of Hill Holliday's annual TV and Media conference was TV Hacked. The look of the event is drawn from our imagining of what the d.i.y spirit of punk looks like in the internet age. I created a suite of assets for an Instagram poster which went on to become the graphics for the entire event, including stage dressing, video interstitials, event signage, and companion site. I also directed and co-produced the opening video.
• Dunkin' Summer SoundtrackSummer concert series for Dunkin' Donuts. Produced in partnership with Spotify, five shows were performed in five major US cities. The shows were teased on Twitter, and content from each show was housed on the Summer Soundtrack microsite.
• IllustrationA few of my favourite illustration projects from the past year.
• The Party Party - Limerick 2014Culture has many faces in Limerick, from sport, to food, to fashion, to art. The Party Party invites the public to tell them what events they want to happen during Limerick's year as National City of Culture 2014, and then provides them with resources to make their ideas a reality; so that 2014 reflects culture not just as the fine arts, but as something that uniquely belongs to Limerick.
• ScreamSufferers of eating disorders struggled to maintain an outward facade of perfection through rigid self-control. Meanwhile, they are doing serious harm to their health, suffering in secrecy and shame. An eating disorder will destroy the body you are trying to "perfect". Great credit and thanks due to my model Erin who posed under a chicken-wire mesh supporting the fake ice cream I whipped up from canned frosting. She also nasally ingested a significant amount of syrup
