Week 3.
Dublin freelance designer Neve Connolly’s hand-crafted confection was a unaninous decision.
Hand-crafted, you say?
Oh yes.
Sez Neve:
All the line work was done using black thread, which is something I’ve been playing around with lately. Once that was finished I used sewing needle to pierce little holes in the letters. I then mounted it onto a piece of glass and lit it from underneath. I wanted the ‘Le Cool’ to glow like the lights of a city seen when flying at night in an airplane, or hot air balloon, whichever air transport you prefer. The lines and pockets of colour depicting the energy/divilment created by people out and about, crossing paths, enjoying this great city. Le Cool at the heart of it all.

Is it my imagination or does the Le Cool Dublin Cover seem to be ‘award-winning’ every week?
How frequent are these award ceremonies?
Everyweek they get submissions and the one used is the award (the one that’s used) winning one
We ran a covers competition over Christmas and a panel of judges selected four winners out of the submissions. Final winner is next week. Details are here: http://dublin.lecool.com/dublin/en/page/coverscomp
Really le cool :)
I love these.
Check out pippablue.com, galway, I am doing a Creative Machine Embroidery class on Sunday, it’s like contour drawing by sewing machine, it’s really cool too :)
+1 on the Really Le cool comment.
This and last weeks were very good.
Didn’t like the first one, but that’s personal taste.
“Unaninous”? You should start working for the IT, Bodger!
Nice design and interesting technique
