Graphic Design and Identity Services to the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport

The Department of Culture, Communications and Sport proposes to select a single suitably qualified service provider who would be called upon to meet graphic and conceptual design requirements (e.g. identity themes, concepts and designs, logo design, print/graphic design and digital media design, etc.) of a number of business units in the Culture Division of the Department as and when they arise. The selected service provider must be capable of providing a full spectrum of design related services and solutions in a manner that complements existing outputs of the Department. This will include providing advice on concept, strategy, style, technique, and medium to best meet any project needs and audience, whilst developing design solutions that are complementary and compatible, appealing, engaging, and successfully achieve their communication objective. More specifically the range of services may include:

• Management and delivery of specific graphic and conceptual design projects;
• The design and delivery of animations, booklets, brochures, illustrations, infographics, invitations, leaflets, logos, newsletters, publications, podcasts and video etc;
• Online digital branding assets for web and social media;
• Promotional tools such as posters, flyers and banners;
• Design of displays, photo essays, information stands, billboards, pull-up banners and materials for use at public events;
• Design of branding for media/press publications, press conferences, report launching, signage, print management, supervision and ancillary services;
• Liaison with printers and suppliers of branded merchandise;
• Materials for exhibitions (e.g. Artwork for exhibition panels);
• Other requirements which may arise over the duration of the contract; and
• utilising identity and concept insights with a view to future strategic positioning in the context of an all-of-Government citizen engagement programme. As the Department is frequently required to produce material in the Irish language, the ability to layout, edit and amend Irish text at short notice is required.
