Superb monochrome posters from young Irish designer Ronan Kelly

Date
1 October 2014

There are plenty of ways we hear about new creative talent, and we came across Ronan Kelly after his mate Tweeted us saying we’d be mad not to feature him. Turns out said friend was bang on the money, and we explored his portfolio with an increasing sense of excitement.

The London-based graphic designer only graduated in 2013, but he is already demonstrating an unerring eye for stylish and communicative design across print, illustration, digital and moving image. We were spoiled for choice when selecting the work to feature here, but I decided to plump for some of his monochromatic poster work, which is brimming with Ronan’s terrific compositional skill and typographic flair.

Keep a close eye on Ronan, we think he’s got a big future ahead of him (and he has some loyal friends to boot!).
