As a graphic designer at Graphic Design Ireland, I was thrilled to take on the challenge of creating a captivating printed advert for Torpey Hurley’s, a renowned hurling equipment manufacturer. In this blog post, I’ll walk you through my creative process, step by step, as I transformed an image of a Clare Hurler into a visually stunning printed advert that leaves a lasting impression on viewers.

Step 1: Drawing Inspiration
The journey began with a powerful image of a Clare Hurler in action. This image was brimming with intensity and passion, and I knew it would be the perfect foundation for the advert. To amplify its impact, I envisioned a dynamic background that would evoke the adrenaline-fueled atmosphere of a hurling match.
Step 2: From Photoshop to Illustrator
In Photoshop, I skillfully refined the image, ensuring every detail was perfect and the player was the focal point. Once satisfied, I brought the edited image into Illustrator to continue the design process and create a seamless composition.
Step 3: Crafting the Composition
In Illustrator, I immersed myself in crafting a harmonious composition, blending the player into the vibrant background seamlessly. I played with colours, lighting, and contrast to evoke emotions and excitement, making the viewer feel as if they were part of the action.

Step 4: Adding Personalised Text and Branding
An impactful image needs equally compelling text. I carefully selected fonts and crafted persuasive copy that integrated Torpey Hurley’s branding and product details. I aimed to entice potential customers and create a memorable message.
Step 5: Iterating and Refining Design is an iterative process, and I valued collaborative feedback. I fine-tuned the advert, ensuring it aligned perfectly with its brand identity and marketing objectives. Every iteration brought us closer to the perfect result.

Step 6: Preparing for Print
With the design finalised, I turned my attention to preparing the advert for printing. I meticulously optimized the file for print resolution, ensuring the colours remained vibrant and true to the original vision. The final step was converting the artwork into a high-quality PDF, ready for the printing press.
Creating a striking printed advert for Torpey Hurley’s was an exhilarating journey of creativity and dedication. From the initial spark of inspiration to the meticulous refinement, every step played a vital role in bringing the vision to life. As a graphic designer at Graphic Design Ireland, I am honoured to be part of projects that demonstrate the power of design in leaving a lasting impact.
In a world dominated by digital marketing, the value of a well-crafted printed advert cannot be overlooked. It remains a tangible and timeless way to connect with audiences, making a statement that lingers in their minds. Torpey Hurley’s now possesses an advert that speaks volumes about its brand and products, ready to make a powerful statement in the world of hurling and beyond.
