Now all you need is an image to go with the article. Everyone likes a nice picture. So now you have your choice, what will it be today?<br>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
One hand with a ring? Two hands with wedding rings? Two hands holding hands? Maybe you're bored of hands and rings, maybe it close to lunch, so what about cake? Rainbow cake?</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Not in the mood for cake? Okay then, what about a wedding cake topper? Two brides or two grooms?</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Maybe you're feeling radical and want to think outside the box? How about a rainbow flag, or a rainbow umbrella?</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Perfect. Now your article is ready to be published. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Only it's not. You are a journalist and you have just written about real human people, that have real human problems, and they are being represented by inanimate objects. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
I take issue with this because representation is important. Is it important to put a face to the people that are being written about, their stories, their hopes for equality. Representation is important. </div>

This picture was the inspiration behind this whole post, so thank you Breda. Here we have what the No Campaign would call their 'perfect family'. A nice clean cut Mother and Father and two perfect kids. And the gay community? We get cakes. We get hands. We get rings. We get decapitated couples. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So this is a request, to the journalists behind these brilliant articles (not you Breda) and to the picture editors, that the next time you are looking for a stock image to accompany an article, please pick a gay family. Pick two men in suits. Pick two women in beautiful dresses. <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Please represent us. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

Blogging, and writing in general, is<div>one of those weird things that while you enjoy it, it can also become a task, and sometimes even a punishment. </div><div><br></div><div>So I took a little break, which became many many months. I've started writing again because I feel like we are at a turning point in Irish life. With the upcoming Marriage Equality referendum only months away, I feel like now more than ever I need to get my voice back. I need to add my voice to this discussing. Because I have a voice. </div><div><br></div><div>I am not the only person to get my voice back it seems. Over the past months I feel the Irish public has regained its voice. Whether it's people protesting Irish Water, or Trans citizen looking to be recognised, or women looking for the rights of their own bodies. They have a voice. </div><div><br></div><div>We have been dormant for too long. We have had a bad case of laryngitis. And now the honey and lemon has worked, and we have our voice back. </div><div><br></div><div>So this is my return to the world of blogging, I'll still be posting about my interests (fashion, design, music) but also the every day, what I see around me, what I'd like to see change. What I myself what to help change. </div><div><br></div><div>I have my voice back. </div><div><br></div><div>DRN </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRJiIfMuo5igNPUmtQCshN7ujsDXQz-JOQB3WGnse14DFGHDl-bn2sWgSIErr8EWLVfHQCCXAHCJ4hdTX2FWtTFmdGK40_ENHjZGC9w15BAF4vxOviBPqUuQLMPYGJkNMal3ezixbwgOfe/s640/blogger-image--518091747.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRJiIfMuo5igNPUmtQCshN7ujsDXQz-JOQB3WGnse14DFGHDl-bn2sWgSIErr8EWLVfHQCCXAHCJ4hdTX2FWtTFmdGK40_ENHjZGC9w15BAF4vxOviBPqUuQLMPYGJkNMal3ezixbwgOfe/s640/blogger-image--518091747.jpg"></a></div><br></div>we're having a momenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07577864678638432194noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7499191758517695295.post-18224075537410735822014-05-04T14:35:00.001+01:002014-05-04T14:35:36.005+01:00The Riverfest<div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Yesterday I got the chance to check out the Limerick Riverfest, it's an annual event held every year in Limerick, and this year it was a much bigger event due to Limerick also being this year's City of Culture. </span></div><div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzFXGzXgf8LVxfZe-vBYdQxlmLAYTLiraPBkNKEg4aSLzfRushF-twh3uTRboATiZ3DKPErmMnXxklBjvHUojiO8IuzM8hi1On0o88jpZldZBcaIdkbwGrqX3dc8VYcTvseFC9XfEVAAmR/s640/blogger-image--2102584465.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzFXGzXgf8LVxfZe-vBYdQxlmLAYTLiraPBkNKEg4aSLzfRushF-twh3uTRboATiZ3DKPErmMnXxklBjvHUojiO8IuzM8hi1On0o88jpZldZBcaIdkbwGrqX3dc8VYcTvseFC9XfEVAAmR/s640/blogger-image--2102584465.jpg"></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Another highlight was the chance to check out Kilkenny photographers Richard Mosse.

I've been a big fan of Chip Kidd's work for a while after seeing his talk at OFFSET. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">When it comes to graphic design you can never stop learning, and as technology is constantly changing you need to be on top of what's happening in the design world. But this book is great because it covers all the basics, the foundational rules of graphic design will always be there and it's important to know them. If you are going to break the rules, it's important to know the rules. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">As for Chip Kidd (what a great name by the way) his wit and style carries this book and it is such an enjoyable read. I would highly recommend it to design students. And if you are looking for an example of Chip's work, his most famous is probably his cover for Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park, which was used as the inspiration for the film of the same name. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">DRN</div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsTCmBwW4meyyjBc45iTGNvz7MnRcdaK6aDaESn15_8vjt3mY6KTzELMPzyDCel0AX77us-vU0GZzZ0XBV9-Iud0Xc5v-TYrXRlE_OiK3Wk4twFSzzOWCPkT9wqRpIPVvSAQSrYF_Cr1YW/s640/blogger-image--846329808.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsTCmBwW4meyyjBc45iTGNvz7MnRcdaK6aDaESn15_8vjt3mY6KTzELMPzyDCel0AX77us-vU0GZzZ0XBV9-Iud0Xc5v-TYrXRlE_OiK3Wk4twFSzzOWCPkT9wqRpIPVvSAQSrYF_Cr1YW/s640/blogger-image--846329808.jpg"></a></div>we're having a momenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07577864678638432194noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7499191758517695295.post-37614561963528329862013-11-04T16:56:00.001+00:002013-11-04T16:56:11.135+00:00Ennis Cowboy<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUDvUyWLHREVAPlHUr9ZD9DUML3qdUQgE5w3bBi-34v5cMT7TQhJzLkm5Wb6UvdSBseMfgGXgAICZxzc7bvnA9IST5LzLr985n5VhSfambc8QglDpSm_yayy1cyN_gsS6vzs380kXNDDxj/s640/blogger-image-1577727793.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUDvUyWLHREVAPlHUr9ZD9DUML3qdUQgE5w3bBi-34v5cMT7TQhJzLkm5Wb6UvdSBseMfgGXgAICZxzc7bvnA9IST5LzLr985n5VhSfambc8QglDpSm_yayy1cyN_gsS6vzs380kXNDDxj/s640/blogger-image-1577727793.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Spotted this today in my hometown of Ennis, Co.

South Park has been given a fresh new intro for its Season 17 premiere. It's hard to believe that a cartoon about 4 foul mouthed 8 year olds would have become one of the most successful shows in animation history. Have a look a the new intro below.<br />

Are you on Instagram?<br />
<br />
I've come to adore the social media website as of late, mostly for the fact that it is such a global platform.They say a picture is worth a 1000 words, and with Instagram a picture can be worth a 1000 words in any language.<br />
<br />
I am following people from all over the globe, but without the language barrier that happens with Twitter or Facebook. All pictures tell a story, and with Instagram its easier then ever before to share them with the world.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Storing your fruit in a bowl is so last century. <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">Carmina Mahugo and Diego Polognioli, the</span> designers behind Fruit Wall, have set up a <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/319279338/fruit-wall-almost-as-natural-as-the-tree" target="_blank">Kickstarter</a> campaign to bring their creation to the mass market, and into mass production.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I really like this idea of hanging your fruit & veg on the wall, like a constantly changing interactive art piece.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Could be the future of fruit.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Last week Sailor Moon battled Wonder Woman in the <span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">Vogue Femme Final Battle at the 2013 Streetstar dance festival.

I love this 1D mash-up pillow by <a href="http://society6.com/tayysaint" target="_blank">Taylor St. Claire</a>.<br />
<br />
It's the perfect mix of social commentary and wit that I like in a throw pillow.<br />
